Anthropic's Nine Loops & ART: How Solo & Swarm Agents Achieve Reliable Scientific Discovery

Anthropic's new research reveals two agent paradigms: Nine Loops demonstrates a single agent completing a 96 CPU-week physics computation with only periodic check-ins, while ART orchestrates 949 agent sessions to autonomously discover a novel enzyme system, exposing critical insights on long-task reliability, multi-agent organization, tool-use pitfalls, and interpretability for attribution.
