fascinating: anthropic is building an automated biological research lab that will be steered by claude and humans - it will not create designer drugs but focus on higher advances in biology (medical, manufacturing etc)
as part of this they're investing huge amounts teaching claude how to operate robots. the goal would be an end-to-end wet lab that makes frontier breakthroughs in the field.
the lab is in early stages and isn't running any clinical trials (yet).
so now both dario and demis are leaning heavily into ai-led medical research. demis has shifted focus to google's designer drug lab isometric labs.
