- Per Andrew Curran citing NYT reporting, Anthropic has set up a wet lab in San Francisco; its bio research has moved beyond in silico, with physical experiments run in-house and with external partners.
- NYT also reports Anthropic plans to scale compute to 5 GW by end of year and 10 GW within 16 months.
- The retweeter argues Anthropic is vertically integrating into bio after math, and medical announcements may come sooner than expected.
