Then what’s the point of this article? Machine learning has been a critical aspect of drug discovery for a decade+ now. Anthropic is built on a cornerstone of transformer models. Presumably, they are wanting to implement a transformer based approach to drug discovery otherwise this is absolutely nothing new and that’s a TERRIBLE idea.
The point of the article is that they want to develop their own drugs. Not just hand over the model to drug companies for them to use and discover drugs.
The method is not new. But it’s new that Antrophic will have a drug division.
