- Engineer's AI pipeline over 400 years of archives finds forgotten meteorite, lost rhinos
A software engineer, inspired by historian Benjamin Breen's use of Claude Opus 5.5 to find a new dodo eyewitness account, built an AI research pipeline with Claude Code: a cheap "System One" decision model, Jev, first filters huge volumes of passages (reading 59,000 elephant mentions cost about $3), Claude Haiku then reads, translates and extracts dates and places, and a Claude Code agent checks transcriptions against scans of the original manuscripts. The run processed GLOBALISE's 4.35 million transcribed pages of Dutch East India Company records in a single 12-hour overnight pass. The author reports finding an 1812 reprint in the Java Government Gazette of a Bombay letter describing a meteorite fall near Pandharpur, which if confirmed would be the earliest recorded fall in Maharashtra by 26 years, plus archival details of Javan rhinoceroses sent as gifts to the King of Kandy dying en route in 1738–1740.
