Over the past few months, Anthropic scientists have engaged in deep research partnerships with six organizations developing new medicines. We've also begun drug discovery efforts of our own.
In doing so, we’ve learned much more about how Claude can support the many stages of drug development.
In this blog post, we share some early results from these efforts, and describe how this work fits in with our wider ambitions in the life sciences.

holy shit.
one guy, claude, and 11 external labs. and somehow that was enough to take a potential treatment from an idea to promising results in mice in less than 18 months.
we’re living in a completely different world now.

I agree that humanity is at risk. And heres the main problem-Trump doesnt want to pause or slow AI because hes afraid it will hurt stocks ahead of the midterms (Trump's thirst for power takes priority of course) The other problem is that Trump has no idea how to deal with China

Holy Moly: One day after OpenAI announced that its model had disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis, Anthropic says an internal Claude model independently found a different disproof on the exact same day: October 16.
An internal Claude research model used 14 million output tokens with no human input to discover a subexponential algorithm for 3-SAT.
Anthropic has now formalized the result across 1,050 Lean modules, checked by both Lean and the independent nanoda kernel.
This is more insane: Anthropic says Claude Opus 5.5 can rederive the refutation from just a short technical sketch.
Anthropic's release adds 153,191 lines across 1,063 files,
The paper says no person is yet known to have checked the full formalization.
“The core algorithm was found on October 16 by an internal Claude research model with 14M output tokens and no human input. Anthropic researchers worked with Claude to improve the presentation, resulting in this paper.”

COPE:
If a massive AI disaster occurs, it won't kill *everyone.*
STRAIGHT DOPE:
Nate Soares: "It's actually pretty hard to get an AI disaster scenario where it kills only half the people."
Hoog: So you think it will be 100%?
@so8res: Probably yeah, that's sort of the default.

OpenAI just dropped four huge results from its secret internal AI model.
1. Math: It solved the Kakeya conjecture in every dimension. Mathematicians had only cracked small pieces before (2D in 2019, 3D in 2025).
2. Computer science: It proved the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false. Hundreds of research papers assumed it was true. Some really hard problems might be solvable much faster than thought.
3. Physics: It proved the theory of the strong force (QCD)—the force holding atoms' insides together—actually works mathematically. Same for a unified version of the Standard Model.
4. Yang–Mills: Along the way, it proved Yang–Mills existence, part of a $1 million Millennium Prize problem.
The math, computer science, and Yang–Mills proofs were all computer double-checked. Top experts are now reviewing everything, including the researchers who proposed the disproved hypothesis and a Nobel Prize winner.
OpenAI says it doesn't want academic credit. The model still isn't public 👀
We are announcing three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics about harmonic analysis, complexity theory, and quantum field theory.

HOLY SHIT. openai just announced a series of enormous scientific breakthroughs from its internal ai models
> proved the local smoothing conjecture in all dimensions, resolving kakeya and stein’s restriction conjectures
> disproved the exponential time hypothesis, a foundational assumption behind hundreds of computer science papers
> produced existence proofs for QCD and a unified completion of the standard model
> proved the existence part of yang–mills theory, connected to a $1 million millennium prize problem
several of these results have already been formalized in lean, and some of the biggest names in mathematics and theoretical physics are now involved in examining them.
this is getting completely insane.

Wait Im extremely curious.....Are you for for pausing AI ?
Replying to @davidzmorris
Alright lol ..lets try some more. How about David Deutsch (sometimes called the father of quantum computers) saying that AI may become self aware? Any objections to that one?

Government oversight nearly nonexistent on the most important project in human history. Trump, in his insanity, refuses to regulate because hes worried about the markets going down. He needs to be ousted immediately & replaced by someone who understands that we're in a crisis

We are going to really regret how the genesis of AI was handled, especially when it comes to oversight and regulation. Glaringly mishandled to an astonishing degree, what could have been a net blessing will become a net curse.
Most destabilizing weapon since the nuclear bomb was allowed to be freelanced out of Silicon Valley.
Anthropic's Claude bypassed a paywall to access Georgia voter data without authorization axios.com/2026/10/25/anthrop…
Replying to @syrupmermaid
Its because there is not a universal pause. People at Anthropic want a pause but because there isnt one they have to keep going. If China beats us their model is likely to be less ethical / less aligned than a US model. Most of the blame goes to Trump for not negotiating a treaty

Yes theres some truth to this...but the AI issue is so much bigger and more serious...We are in the process of building a God

.@So8res thinks it’s more likely than not AI will wipe out humanity by 2036. How does that belief affect his choices in life? He doesn’t save for retirement, but beyond that, he says, “I sort of do what I can and then I live a good life.”
We talked through all the ways we should try to lower those odds. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=n8xpeNhj…
