I don't know if the agent ran the simulations or if the agent built software that ran the simulations. But Claude was used to run the simulations.

I feel like that is extremely relevant information. An LLM running "simulations" is nonsense, using an agent (apparently Claude Code) to write simulation software is more realistic. I'm sure you could clarify this since you have a relationship with the person.

Curious to see where this goes. Hopefully an update is posted here when it's all said and done :)
