Anthropic's new wet lab claims first discovery: ~1,000 Claude agents find novel enzyme system in 21 hours
Polymarket · x · 2026-09-24
Per Polymarket, Anthropic's newly built wet lab has produced its first discovery: nearly 1,000 Claude agents autonomously worked for 21 hours and uncovered a novel enzyme system. It marks a landmark step for agent-driven scientific research, moving LLMs from literature reasoning into direct biological experimentation.
