Claude makes scientific research faster and cheaper, accelerating the pace of discovery and contributing to scientific results directly.
Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2
Our most capable models for daunting technical work, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 set a new bar in coding, finance, and the sciences.
Testing Claude on real-world electronics design
We asked Claude Fable 5.2 to design three electronic devices from short prompts: a speakerphone, a voice-assistant hub, and a handheld virtual pet. Diode Computers built working prototypes from its files.
Teaching AI to build scientific models
In this guest post, Jakob Macke, Daniel Gedon, and Stefan Wahl discuss how AI is starting to change the scientific modeling process, from construction to interpretation.
AI for scientific discovery: How researchers use Claude
We analyzed 207,000 research sessions to learn how Claude is used in science, why some tasks get more use than others, and how AI could speed up discovery.
Investigating vault particles with Claude
We’re sharing another finding from Anthropic’s biology research lab: the first 3D structure of a vault particle found in prokaryotic cells. Here, we describe how Claude helped at each step of this research.
AI for Science expands to foundations and research institutions
We’re highlighting 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups around the world that we’ve partnered with in an expansion of our AI for Science program.
Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude
We're at the start of a major effort to speed up drug development with Claude. Over the past several months, our scientists have engaged in deep research partnerships with six organizations developing new medicines.
Physicist Christopher Stubbs joins Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust
Dr. Christopher Stubbs, an experimental physicist and former Dean of Science at Harvard University, has joined Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust. He brings to the Trust decades of scientific expertise across observational cosmology and precision measurement.
How Claude designed protein binders against scorpion neurotoxins
We asked an internal research Claude model to design minibinders (small proteins that attach tightly to a target) against scorpion neurotoxins.
Designing more efficient quantum circuits with Claude
We gave Claude plain-language specifications for eight quantum circuits, along with an automated evaluator to check and score its designs. Working largely on its own, Claude improved on the best published circuits, in some cases by an order of magnitude or more, which could bring practical quantum computers closer than previously anticipated.
Claude reveals ECDSA curve origins
The decades-old mystery of the origins of one of the most popular cryptographic standards has been explained.
Building on our commitment to American scientific discovery
Anthropic is committing $150 million over three years to the Genesis Mission, a federal initiative to accelerate scientific and technological discovery through AI.
The missing map of the sky
Brice Ménard, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University and a researcher at Anthropic, explains how he worked with Claude Science to produce the first complete map of the sky in UV light.
Claude-shaped science
Guest author Prof. Matthew Schwartz describes what happened when he stopped fighting Claude and allowed Claude to find “Claude-shaped” problems: ones best suited to the capabilities of the current generation of LLM tools. This led him to build BootLoops, a toolkit for exact calculations in quantitative science, which he has been applying across scientific fields alongside experts.
Yes, Claude can do Nine Loops
Guest writer and physicist Matt von Hippel shares what happened when he issued a challenge to AI companies to solve a problem in his former subfield of theoretical physics.
Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
We’re announcing a new life sciences research group and laboratory at Anthropic. This post introduces the team behind this work and shares early results in which Claude discovered a novel enzyme system with properties reminiscent of CRISPR.
How Claude is uplifting biomolecular modeling
Claude made the open-source models that scientists use to predict and design biomolecules faster and more memory-efficient. Claude optimized more than 30 of these models in just under four weeks, speeding them up roughly 4x on average. It also created a low-memory mode that enables the accurate prediction of biomolecular systems larger than 10,000 tokens (amino acids, nucleotides, and atoms from small molecules and ions) on a single NVIDIA GPU node.
Introducing Claude Mythos and Fable 5.1
They’re the world’s most advanced models for coding and knowledge work—and their research capabilities offer an early glimpse of how AI models will contribute to scientific progress.
Formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem
We are sharing the first complete computer-checked proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Claude worked largely autonomously over 11 days to write the proof in the Lean programming language.
