Summary
Anthropic launched the Life Sciences Verification Program in beta on September 17. Life science teams that pass checks on research credentials, security standards, and ethical oversight can use the Mythos, Opus, and Sonnet models with safeguards relaxed for biology work such as drug discovery, research biology, and clinical development. Most work is covered by annually renewed Standard Use grants, while higher-risk research requires project-level High-risk Use grants with additional vetting.
Why it matters for our work
It opens wider model access for verified teams in a field where AI use has been limited, and could directly change the pace of human researcher plus AI collaboration in drug discovery and laboratory work.
