Insilico Medicine gave patients its AI-designed pulmonary fibrosis drug rentosertib for 12 weeks, and their biological age dropped on all six aging clocks tested — by more than three years in some cases. The drug was made by AI, and its effects were measured by AI. So how much should we trust these numbers?
Of 1,320 mini-protein binders Claude designed, 354 actually bound — hitting 14 of 15 targets. One target that stumped human competitors, who managed only a 3.7% hit rate, yielded 40% for Claude. But picking winners before synthesis is still the hard part.
The AI's hypothesis was verified twice — once against a separate dataset, once against lab imaging — and the result led to an expanded partnership. Invasive lobular carcinoma, long considered resistant to immunotherapy, accounts for about 15% of US breast cancer diagnoses.
Labs verified by a principal investigator get a year of free standard seats, plus premium seats with five times the usage cap for $15 a month. Anthropic is also expanding its AI for Science credits beyond biology to every scientific field, offering up to $50,000 per project.
That's the last story.
