    Anthropic announces results of Project Fetch Phase 2 experiment

    On June 18, 2026, Anthropic announced the results of the second phase of the Project Fetch experiment. The experiment showed that Claude Opus 4.7, running Claude Code without human assistance, completed tasks that human teams had done last year about 20 times faster than the fastest human team. On every task that at least one human team completed, Opus 4.7 was at least 10 times faster; on tasks completed by all four human teams, it was on average more than 37 times faster than teams without Claude and more than 18 times faster than teams with Claude, while generating nearly ten times less code than Team Claude. Anthropic also noted that the model still fails at the closed-loop control step of precisely pushing the beach ball, that this is not a solved robotics problem, and that the improvements came from general capability scaling rather than robot-specific training.

    Claude autonomously completes protein design project as an agent

    On October 21, 2026, it was reported that Claude autonomously completed an entire round of a protein design project as an agent in Anthropic's Claude Science environment. According to the report, Claude selected the target site on a scorpion venom neurotoxin on its own, drove 12 protein design programs and set scoring thresholds, and selected 180 molecules from the 318,484 generated to send for physical synthesis; of the 211 designs tested by Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience, 17 successfully bound the target toxin. The request was made by Citrini Research, a financial firm with no laboratory or protein expertise. The report also noted that Anthropic did not call it an antivenom, because the tests needed to support that claim have not yet been conducted. There are currently no subsequent developments.

    Claude discovers the origin of NIST ECDSA curve seeds

    The Anthropic research team says its internal research model Claude figured out how the seeds for the NIST P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384 and P-521 curves were generated in under half an hour. The team says these seeds did not come from a hash algorithm, but rather from the output of the 1990s C library lrand48 random number generator seeded with a Unix timestamp, with the P-256 seed being the result of the 1842nd iteration. The team stresses that this is not a cryptographic break or a new attack; rather, it makes the possibility that the curves were deliberately implanted with a backdoor less likely, because anyone can reproduce this generation process. Claude also recovered the FreeLIP generator seed used for the base points of P-192 and some ANSI X9.62 example curves, but the B-163 seed and the method for generating the base points of P-224, P-256, P-384 and P-521 remain unexplained. The related $36,864 bounty will be donated to the Internet Security Research Group.
