Anthropic and Adaptyv Bio Launch Claude-Powered Protein Design Competition
Anthropic and Adaptyv Bio have launched a co-sponsored protein design competition that will experimentally validate more than 5,000 AI-generated designs. The initiative combines Claude-enabled biology models , automated wet-lab testing, cloud computing support and funding, creating a larger end-to-end program for teams working on difficult protein-design problems. According to Anthropic’s update…
Anthropic and Adaptyv Bio have launched a protein design competition co-sponsored by the two organizations, utilizing Claude-powered AI models to experimentally validate over 5,000 AI-generated protein designs. The competition offers participants up to $1 million in Claude credits, additional funding for experimental validation through Adaptyv Bio, and up to $250,000 in Modal compute credits.
The initiative aims to bridge the gap between computational design predictions and laboratory outcomes, with optimized biology models being made open source. The competition builds upon prior work between the companies, with Adaptyv Bio reporting a 26.8% hit rate in a previous campaign involving 1,320 designs. The scale of this new program is significant, but the eventual results will provide a more comprehensive assessment of the workflow's effectiveness in various protein-design challenges.
