- Anthropic expands AI for Science to 20 foundations and research institutions
Anthropic expanded its AI for Science program to 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups worldwide. The program, started in May 2025, gives free Claude credits to researchers working on high-impact scientific projects across biology, medicine, physics, chemistry and climate science. Anthropic says it has supported hundreds of projects and also launched a discounted Team plan for scientists.
- Anthropic details early Claude partnerships to accelerate drug development with six biopharma groups
Anthropic’s life-sciences team says it has partnered with BigHat Biosciences, Bristol Myers Squibb, Divergence Labs, Enveda, Generate Biomedicines, and The Column Group on real drug programs, and has begun its own discovery efforts including rare childhood muscular dystrophy. The post frames Claude as supporting target ID, molecule design, manufacturing, regulatory drafting, and trials across distributed bottlenecks.
- Anthropic's new defenses cut distillation data harvesting by 90-99%, names Zhipu and Moonshot cases
Anthropic published new methods against distillation attacks, with early evidence they reduced the data harvested by distillers by around 90 to 99%. The post names Zhipu as having distilled the cyber capabilities of leading US models during GLM-5.3's development — after safeguards degraded its attacks on Claude Fable 5, it switched to an older Claude model and another lab's model — and a case where requests to Moonshot's Kimi models were secretly forwarded to Claude. CAISSI has assessed GLM-5.3 as the most cyber-capable open-weights model released to date, and Anthropic frames illicit distillation as both a safeguards gap and a national security risk through foreign military and surveillance integration.
