Acquires Coefficient

• Anthropic ने 27 अप्रैल, 2026 को जैविक मॉडलिंग (biological modeling) में विशेषज्ञता रखने वाले अमेरिका स्थित AI स्टार्टअप Coefficient Bio के अधिग्रहण की घोषणा की। • इस सौदे का उद्देश्य उन्नत दवा खोज (drug discovery) अनुप्रयोगों के लिए Coefficient के प्रोटीन डिज़ाइन AI टूल्स को Anthropic के Claude मॉडल्स के साथ एकीकृत करना है। • यह कदम बढ़ते निवेशों के बीच Anthropic को प्रतिस्पर्धी AI-बायोटेक क्षेत्र में स्थापित करता है, जो संभावित रूप से व्यक्तिगत चिकित्सा (personalized medicine) की खोजों को तेज कर सकता है।

• Anthropic expanded its AI strategy by acquiring AI drug discovery startup Coefficient Bio for approximately $400 million and launching a political action committee to influence AI regulation. • The company is also seeing surging investor demand for its shares amid tightening AI infrastructure supply and growing market appetite. • These moves position Anthropic to shape policy, enter life sciences, and capitalize on demand for leading AI technologies in the US.

• Anthropic acquired Coefficient Bio, a startup founded eight months ago with fewer than 10 employees, for roughly $400 million in shares, despite it having no product or revenue. • The platform uses AI for pharmaceutical tasks like drug research planning and identifying new drug opportunities, positioning Anthropic's models for scientific discovery in life sciences. • This bet signals a strategic push into AI-driven biotech, potentially accelerating drug development amid growing competition in applied AI verticals.
