Claude just helped uncover a previously unknown biological system—and how it found it might be the bigger story. Anthropic’s agents searched for roughly 21 hours before researchers followed up on a strange pattern in DNA. We look at ART, the surprising signals inside Mythos 5, and what this could mean for the pace of scientific discovery. ART’s function is still unknown, but the clues are fascinating.
