Read the articleModern biology produces more data than human teams can inspect line by line. On October 21, OpenAI described work on a whole-brain CRISPR atlas. Each GPT-Rosalind-powered agent studied one gene disruption, examined cellular responses, searched the literature and proposed an explanation. The findings were combined into a map linking genes, cells and publications.
Read the articleA general agent can write, search and use tools, but may not know a company’s procedure. A skill fills that gap with a folder containing a `SKILL.md` file, instructions and optional scripts or references. Anthropic says it created the format for Claude Code, opened it in December 2025 and transferred its name, logo, domain and GitHub organization to the AAIF on October 22, 2026. Its claims of more than 70 integrations, one million published skills and nearly 280 million installations need independent measurement.
