How Claude is accelerating protein design and analytical chemistry

CLAIM STATUS · PUBLISHED

Aug 18, 2026 Summary: In this post, we share two results that show how Claude can help life scientists increase the pace of their research. In the first, we tested Claude’s ability to design protein binders from scratch, a key task representative of the early parts of the drug design process and one that has historically taken a specialist weeks or months per target. Claude (Mythos Preview and Opus 4.8) designed protein binders against 15 targets, and succeeded against 14 of them. Between 22% and 35% of its individual designs bound successfully, depending on the setup, compared to the 10-15%

CLAIM STATUS · PUBLISHED

Aug 10, 2026 Recently, a member of staff at Anthropic gave Claude an unreasonable challenge. It was about one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics: Take a real stab at the Riemann hypothesis . Claude did take a real stab, but as you might have expected if you’re familiar with the difficulty of the task (the Riemann hypothesis dates back to 1859 and has a million-dollar bounty ), it didn’t succeed. Nevertheless, during its attempt, it unexpectedly made strides on a related problem. An unreleased research version of Claude has improved on a longstanding lower bound for the fracti
