> Based on my quick reading, the BBC article doesn't bring up a prior publication / release from 2025 called "AI-Designed Phages," https://www.asimov.press/p/ai-phages

That link is a commentary about the preprint of the article mentioned in the BBC article.

After your editing:

> Same team, prior publication / release from 2025 called "AI-Designed Phages," https://www.asimov.press/p/ai-phages

It is the same work, just not published in Science.
