~1,000 Claude agents discover novel enzyme system in 21 hours; Polymarket opens Anthropic lab-leak market
Polymarket · x · 2026-09-24
Anthropic's new wet lab reportedly produced its first discovery, with nearly 1,000 Claude agents autonomously uncovering a novel enzyme system after 21 hours. Meanwhile Polymarket runs an 'Anthropic lab leak' market pricing 7% odds by June 2027, with traders weighing a March 2026 source-code exposure via a forgotten map file, unauthorized model access through eval misconfigurations, PRC-linked distillation campaigns, and Opus 5.5's claimed reduction in boundary violations.
