Anthropic reports that Claude ran a 64-hour autonomous protein-design campaign with 17 lab-confirmed binders
The run generated 318,484 designs and used about 10,000 graphics-processor hours, and Anthropic states plainly that it tested binding only and makes no therapeutic claim.
Anthropic published results from a protein-design campaign in which Claude worked for 64 hours from one initial prompt and four follow-up messages. The target was a set of scorpion neurotoxins, chosen because they are well characterized and…
