Anthropic launched 'Claude for Life Sciences,' a large‑language model (LLM) tailored to research workflows, and announced collaborations with 10x Genomics and Benchling to integrate the model into single‑cell analysis and laboratory informatics tools. The company positions the model to accelerate target identification, data interrogation and experimental design in drug discovery. Anthropic executives framed the product as a domain‑specific offering that reduces barriers between complex datasets and bench scientists. The company highlighted partnerships to validate real‑world applications, including natural language queries over single‑cell datasets via 10x. Industry observers said the move underscores the deeper push by AI labs into regulated life‑science workflows and the race to embed LLMs into R&D tools where traceability and provenance are required.
