Anthropic's Claude language models, specifically Mythos Preview and Opus 4.8, have autonomously designed proteins capable of binding to 14 out of 15 targeted diseases. These AI-generated proteins were synthesized and tested in wet labs by Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience, confirming their ability to bind to the disease targets, a critical first step in drug development. While not drugs themselves, the success rate of over 35% on single targets significantly surpasses typical human-led efforts, though figures like Martin Shkreli have downplayed the achievement, highlighting the long road ahead for drug development.
