Anthropic's wet lab gets the headlines, but the real change in how science gets done is happening in the analysis pipelines and agent harnesses that surround the bench. Here's what actually moved, and what will break first.
Agents started working late in 2025 not because models leapt forward, but because the harness around them matured. That crossover point is already passing as models absorb what the harness learned.
Lila Sciences runs a warehouse of AI-guided robotics doing experiments 24/7. It's the clearest sign yet that agents don't have to stay trapped in files and API calls, and the economics of that shift are the story worth studying.
Fox bought Roku to stop being a rights-holder and start being a renter with distribution. The same logic is quietly reshaping who wins in AI agents: own the harness, rent the model.
Browser-Use's 0.13.0 rewrite ditched the browser abstractions everyone assumed agents needed. Read against Apple's Siri, Claude Code's safe-mode, and the new code-quality benchmarks, it's a signal about where agent value is migrating.
