Anthropic's life sciences team has partnered with six biotech organizations — BigHat Biosciences, Bristol Myers Squibb, Divergence Labs, Enveda, Generate Biomedicines, and The Column Group — to accelerate drug development using Claude. Key results include Claude generating 35,000 antibody designs for food allergy treatments in one month, reducing Enveda's regulatory review time by 89%, and helping improve cancer-targeting molecules to bind over 10 times more tightly. Anthropic also acquired Mithril Medicine and is running its own programs targeting rare muscular dystrophy, with clinical trials potentially starting by late 2028.

Anthropic's Frontier Red Team used an unreleased internal Claude model to discover and exploit critical vulnerabilities across Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux. Findings include a one-click RCE chain in Chrome involving 62 patched CVEs, a Safari same-origin policy bypass, an Android lock screen bypass on a Pixel 9, a remote denial-of-service in Windows QUIC networking, and a zero-click Linux kernel RCE exploitable in under an hour. All vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosed and patched by the respective vendors.
