The AI companies know it and they're all making the same desperate pivot.
Midjourney. OpenAI. And this week, Anthropic.
All three are now pharma companies.
Anthropic just launched Claude Science. An AI workbench for drug discovery. Announced Tuesday.
The day before the announcement, Anthropic poached John Jumper from Google DeepMind. The guy who won a Nobel Prize for building AlphaFold. They took two top Gemini researchers with him.
They bought the scientists.
And they're entering a race against a competitor Google's Isomorphic Labs that's been doing this for 5 years.
Drugs take 10 to 15 years to develop. You can't agile your way through clinical trials.
A hedge?
The LLM gold rush seems over.
