Level 4 · Tested in the physical world
BigHat and Anthropic improve two antibody leads over seven rounds, after finding one thermal measure did not measure what its name said
A closed-loop lab optimises the number it is given, so a measure that stands in badly for what a drug needs cannot be rescued by a better model or more data. The gain here came from people and a model reading the instrument signal and changing the experiment, not from more rounds of search. Published lab-in-the-loop work mostly takes the reported assay value as a correct label; this campaign did not.
