Anthropic Claims Frontier Claude Models Outperform Traditional Protein Design Campaigns

Anthropic’s Claude models designed de novo protein binders against 14 of 15 targets with a 27% hit rate—exceeding the typical 10–15%—in independent lab tests by Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience.

Anthropic says the process is an early foundational step in drug discovery / development and they are now training Claude to run the entire drug development process end-to end
