The tool natively renders 3D protein structures, genome tracks, and chemical structures, automatically manages compute across local machines, HPC clusters, and on-demand GPUs, and pairs every run with a reviewer agent that checks citations and calculations for reproducibility.\n\nBeyond selling software to researchers, Anthropic said it will become a drug developer itself, targeting neglected diseases that attract little commercial investment. To seed early adoption, the company is offering up to $30,000 in credits for as many as 50 \"AI for Science\" projects, with compute partner Modal kicking in up to $2,000 more per selected project; applications close July 15, 2026, with funded projects running from September through December.\n\nAnthropic says early testers are already seeing dramatic gains — one genetics lab reported completing comprehensive germline workups in one-tenth the time previously required, with results independently validated. The launch signals AI labs moving from selling generic assistants to embedding directly in specialized scientific workflows, competing for a slice of the multi-billion-dollar drug discovery pipeline."}}
