Adaptyv Bio

Anthropic had its internal research model, Claude, run a largely autonomous 64-hour campaign designing minibinders against scorpion neurotoxins, generating 318,484 designs and selecting 180 for testing; with 31 more added by the team, Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience tested all 211, and 17 met the binding criteria at both labs. The binders were shown to bind recombinant toxins only, with no neutralization or animal tests, so they are not an antivenom. All 211 designs and their data are released.
