Expert Andrew Iaginine questions Anthropic's claim that Claude 3.5 Sonnet autonomously designed novel protein binders. He argues that Claude Opus and Mythos likely utilized specialized models like BindCraft or Boltzgen rather than designing the binders themselves. He notes that the reported success rates are normal for these specialized tools, especially for previously seen proteins featured in articles and competitions.
