SAN FRANCISCO — Anthropic, the artificial intelligence firm, on Tuesday announced the availability of Claude Science, an application that optimizes the company’s large language model for use in scientific laboratories and, especially, within the research operations of pharmaceutical companies.
At a launch event here, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei emphasized that until now, humans have wrestled with the complexity of biology only with their minds. While biology is not as simple or clean as code, he believes it can be just as powerful in this domain. He stated, “It’s going to be a general purpose technology that helps us to make sense of that complexity, in its full complexity, better.” However, he acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding its effectiveness, noting, “We don’t know for sure if that’s going to work out. But I think we’re seeing signs that we’re seeing the beginnings of it.”
