Anthropic wants to develop its own drugs

At the event "The Briefing: AI for Science" earlier this week, Anthropic announced Claude Science, a new "AI workbench for scientists" that pulls fragmented tools and datasets into one environment, and generates figures and visuals.

Anthropic, already dominating the industry with its popular coding tools and powerful AI models, framed the launch around what it says is AI's potential to "dramatically accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and the development of healthcare interventions," and touted a long list of biotech and pharma customers already using Claude.
