Claude autonomously executes science workflows, beats standard protein design hit rates

Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-08-19

Anthropic's Claude is performing real experimental science workflows almost autonomously. In a protein design campaign, it generated binders for 14 of 15 targets, achieving hit rates of 23–35% compared to the typical 10–15%, with some designs matching or beating the best previously reported binding affinities. It handled the entire computational pipeline itself, including selecting binding sites.
