Nine Hundred Fifty Agents, One Lucky Run: Inside the Enzyme System Claude Found Hiding in Viral DNA, September 24, 2026

Nine Hundred Fifty Agents, One Lucky Run: Inside the Enzyme System Claude Found Hiding in Viral DNA, September 24, 2026 Anthropic says a swarm of Claude agents searched nearly two billion protein clusters and flagged ART, a previously unrecognized system in bacteriophages that pairs a reverse transcriptase with a partner gene and an array of repeats resembling CRISPR. Chris and Laura unpack what the human run lab actually confirmed, why ten reruns failed to find it again, what Feng Zhang said about the preprint, and what the episode teaches anyone deploying AI agents about reliability and verification.
