Anthropic launches Claude Science AI tool for pharma research labs

Anthropic announced the availability of Claude Science, an application that tailors its large language model for use in scientific laboratories and pharmaceutical research operations.

The tool is intended to help researchers accelerate data analysis, generate hypotheses, and plan experiments more efficiently by leveraging advanced AI capabilities.

This release marks the first time a major AI developer has offered a dedicated scientific version of its model, signaling a step toward broader AI integration in drug discovery workflows.

Separately, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry reported a net loss of 247 jobs last month, a modest decline compared with May's employment changes.
