Anthropic reported that by May 2026, over 80% of code merged into its production codebase was AI-generated, leading to an eightfold increase in engineer output per quarter. This AI-driven development has already resulted in significant improvements, such as an AI model fixing over 800 API errors and reducing error rates by a factor of 1000, and migrating a massive 50-million-line codebase in a single day. Meanwhile, AI is making strides in scientific discovery, with AlphaFold mapping over 200 million proteins and Google DeepMind's GNoME predicting millions of new crystals, accelerating research across biology and materials science.
