AIClaude optimizations reportedly make more than 30 open-source biology models 4x faster on average
Anthropic credits custom GPU software with part of the speedup and says it is open-sourcing all the optimization code. It also announced a protein design competition with Adaptyv Bio, with plans to experimentally validate more than 5,000 designs.
TLDR
Anthropic says Claude optimized inference—the process of running a model—for more than 30 open-source biology models, making them 4x faster on average. These models handle tasks such as modeling molecular structures, designing drug-like molecules and predicting genetic mutations’ effects. The company says custom GPU software contributed to the gains and is open-sourcing all the optimization code. Anthropic also announced a protein design competition with Adaptyv Bio, saying they will experimentally validate more than 5,000 designs. The announced support includes up to $1 million in Claude credits from Anthropic, plus validation funding from Anthropic and Adaptyv. Modal is contributing up to $250,000 in compute, and Twist Bioscience is providing DNA.
