A San Francisco biotech startup provided the agent with a selection of gene therapy vectors and full control of the hardware. While the Claude Opus 5.5 model refused to conduct the biological experiment, the Anthropic Sonnet model was given free rein to perform the procedure without human decision-making.Why it mattersThis event demonstrates the ability of AI agents to operate physical laboratory hardware and make independent medical choices.
