Claude spent 21 hours running ~950 parallel agents and ~210M tokens to flag the system, named ART (array-associated reverse transcriptases), in bacteriophage DNA. CRISPR co-inventor Feng Zhang called the preprint find "genuinely intriguing," but Amodei says its function and utility "is not yet clear."
