Anthropic 湿实验室用 949 个 Claude 智能体 21 小时发现新酶系统 ART
Anthropic 让 949 个 Claude 智能体自己跑 21 小时，扫了 19 亿蛋白簇，真挖出一个类似 CRISPR 的新酶系统，AI 做科研这回是真落地了。
Anthropic 的湿实验室让 949 个 Claude 智能体自主运行 21.5 小时，在 1.94B 蛋白质簇中搜索后发现了新的酶系统，团队命名为 ART。Claude 在分析海量基因数据时注意到同一小段 DNA 反复出现在酶旁边，这一模式与 CRISPR 相似，随后由 Anthropic 科学家确认是一个新的生物系统家族。整个搜索共检索出 198,290 个 RT 簇，消耗 215.6M tokens。该系统还会产生多种小 RNA 分子，说明那些重复 DNA 片段可能具有实际功能。
Wild stuff. Anthropic’s new wet lab got its first win after 949 Claude agents autonomously tracked down a new enzyme system in just 21 hours.
Claude was searching a huge amount of genetic data when it noticed an unusual pattern: the same small piece of DNA repeating again and again next to an enzyme.
The campaign searched 1.94B protein clusters, recovered 198,290 RT clusters, and used 215.6M tokens across 21.5 hours.
That pattern looked a little like CRISPR, so Anthropic’s scientists investigated it and found a new family of biological systems they call ART.
The system also produces many small RNA molecules, suggesting those repeated DNA sections are doing something useful rather than sitting there randomly.
