  • Partners named include BigHat Biosciences, Bristol Myers Squibb, Divergence Labs, Enveda, Generate Biomedicines, and The Column Group.1
  • Anthropic has begun its own drug discovery efforts alongside these partnerships.1
  • The team found Claude can support many tasks across drug development, not only molecule design, and plans to improve and scale the work.1
