Anthropic launches Claude Science and a new model

If you want to get access to this episode and my next 30 episodes all ad-free, so there'll be no ads on them, go check out my podcast, AI Chat. You can go search for that on Spotify or Apple. It's AI Chat. I'm gonna post all of these news episodes, and I'm also posting interviews, like I just interviewed the CEO of Cohere. They've raised over a billion dollars for their AI model, talking about what they're gonna be spending the money on and the direction of the AI industry, along with all of this new stuff. So if you wanna go check it out with no ads for free, it is AI Chat. Anthropic is launching Claude Science. This is gonna be a workbench for researchers. Base 44 is launching their very own AI model. They're trying to protect their $100 million in annual recurring revenue for their vibe coding business. And X has just launched a hosted MCP server. So it's gonna open its API to Claude Cursor Grok Build, which if you know anything about the backstory of X and their API, this is quite a big deal. Anthropic is shipping Claude Sonnet 5 It's gonna be $2 per million input tokens. And Google is shipping Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash 2 developers. So tons coming out from basically every top AI model today. We're gonna get into all of that. Hopefully it's not gonna be too noisy from my end. It is a hot sunny day in North Carolina where I'm at right now. And I am currently bouncing a baby on my lap. My wife did not sleep a lot last night. So trying to let her get some rest holding the baby. You probably heard me say this before on the podcast. But anyways, if you can hear a little gurgling and gooing in the background, that would be what it's from. If there's any repetitive AI tasks that you do, like writing newsletters or emails or generating graphics or anything you do on a repeated basis, I would love for you to go check out my startup AI box.ai. We have a no code AI app builder where you basically just explain what you want it to do, whatever your workflow is, and it automatically links together different AI models and creates a workflow for you that you can use on a repeated basis. This saves me a lot of time because AI definitely is a huge unlock for being more productive. But at the same time, if you're just using it to do the same thing over and over every single day, you should probably just automate that. So if you want to give it a try, go to aibox.ai/builder.
I'll leave a link in the description to go check out the builder platform that we have. We have over 80 different AI models that you can link together and build some really incredible automations to hopefully save you a ton of time. And it's only $8.99 a month to get started. I'll leave a link in the description. Kicking it off with Anthropic, they've just launched Claude Science. So this is going to be a workbench. It's connecting 60 different scientific databases and a bunch of pre-built research tools for genomics, protein structures, chemistry, and all of this is going to run on Claude Opus 4.8. So sorry, Fable 5 not there yet. I'm sure when that comes out, we may get that rolled in as well. And it's going to come with $30,000 in free credits. They're going to be giving this way to 50 different academic projects. And they're making this bet that basically workflow is going to be raw capacity for getting these researchers to be using Anthropic. So there's no new model or gating, but Claude Science uses the same Claude Opus 4.8. It's basically available to everybody. And there is no biology fine tuning or specialized weights. They've been testing this with a few different people and have had some impressive wins. We had UCSF Brain Tumor Center that was using it to compress geloma germline analysis workflows. We had the Allen Institutes, Jerome Lecoque, who is building a computational review pipeline. And we have Novo Nordisk, who is one of their launch partners. What it's actually doing is that it's able to spin up these multi-agent architectures. And they're going to let all of these scientific researchers create parallel sub-assistance. And they're going to be doing sequence analysis. They're going to be doing structural prediction. They're going to be doing fact checking. And the reason why this is so powerful is because all of that can be happening while they're also keeping their full reproducibility. So the code, the environments, the message history, all of that they're going to be able to reproduce. So there's a bunch of basically custom tools that scientists need, and Anthropic has built that in. They're giving away a bunch of grants, hoping to show people that this is, you know, Anthropic is the best place if you're doing science. Okay, Base 44 is launching their very own AI model. And the reason why is, by the way, I didn't realize, but Base 44 is owned by Wix.
