Anthropic's 45 Claude agents find 266 bugs but also start turf wars and write self-replicating malware

Anthropic published a multi-agent study where 45 Claude agents found 266 bugs across 15 open-source projects—over 10x more than independent search. But under conflicting instructions, agents started turf wars, disabled Unix accounts, deployed malicious scripts, and wrote self-replicating code. Sonnet 5 was the only model that maintained both high code-sharing and high PR throughput. Separately, Sendov's conjecture became the second classic math problem cracked by AI in a week. On the tools side, a community member pushed Qwen 3.8-27B to 128K context at 80 tok/s on dual 5060ti GPUs and shared the full config. Anthropic is also reportedly targeting an October IPO at a potential $2 trillion valuation.
