Claude Science agents assemble a full-sky ultraviolet map, with a third of it predicted, not observed
A Johns Hopkins astrophysicist who also works at Anthropic says agents merged six datasets in days and that blind tests put the predicted regions within about 10 percent of real measurements.
Brice Ménard, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University who also works as a researcher at Anthropic, used Claude Science to build what Anthropic calls the first complete map of the sky in far and near ultraviolet light. Claude Science i…
