Claude analyzed more than 200,000 enzymes in just 21 hours and identified a pattern of sequences that Anthropic considers a possible new biological tool. But the discovery is being questioned by researchers who were already studying the same enzymes and who will have shared information about their work with the model.

AI biology lab Anthropic's first discovery questioned - scientists see his unpublished work in it
Last week, Anthropic presented findings from its biolabs. The company uses artificial intelligence agents to discover promising new enzymes. Some scientists were quick to express doubts about the achievement. An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team shared their research results with the Anthropic AI model, and that the neural network’s touted “discovery” […]
