Stanford researcher: automated orchestrators are a big unlock, current versions not there yet
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-08-21
Responding to skepticism about Claude Science, genomics researcher Anshul Kundaje argues that while today's automated orchestrators aren't there yet, a smoothly running one would be a major unlock — it's high priority for the team and rapid improvements are expected. He stresses the system democratizes what experts can do. The original critic countered that naming open-source components only addresses provenance; the deeper question is causal attribution across the LLM, agent runtime, and human-written protocol.
