Exin Therapeutics has AI agent perform brain surgery on mouse, refusing to proceed midway due to calibration anomaly

Exin Therapeutics used an Arduino-modified surgical platform to let an AI agent complete a brain injection in a mouse; the agent selected the gene therapy vector and injection coordinates itself, injecting 250 nanoliters of solution within five minutes. A connection interruption caused the Y-axis target position to deviate 34 millimeters from the bench, and the agent refused to retry twice citing calibration issues, so the team ultimately modified the code manually. The craniotomy was still performed by a human, a licensed veterinarian held a physical emergency stop switch on site, and the entity that ultimately performed the surgery was Sonnet 5.
