Anthropic 称其生物实验室借助 Claude 发现类 CRISPR 酶系统
原标题:Anthropic says its biology lab has already found something big
AI 摘要
Anthropic 宣布其位于湾区的湿实验室利用 Claude 发现了一种此前未知的噬菌体 DNA 酶系统,具有类似 CRISPR 的切割、复制和粘贴 DNA 的能力。Claude 通过约 950 个智能体、消耗 2.1 亿 token、历时 21 小时完成搜索,但实验由人类科学家完成。CEO Dario Amodei 承认该发现基于他人工作,斯坦福团队此前已发现类似系统,并称未来可能让 Claude 自主控制实验设备。

Last week, Anthropic confirmed that it was operating a wet biology lab in the Bay Area where it uses its AI models to run physical experiments. This week, the AI giant announced that this lab has already made what it believes is a big discovery: a new enzyme “system” that has certain “properties reminiscent of CRISPR,” as Anthropic describes it. CRISPR is a natural immune system used by bacteria to fight off viruses that has become a gene-editing technology widely used by researchers. Essentiall
