A very special project to work on. Some of my favorite moments from the film:
Mariko Mori has pushed the boundaries of art for three decades. For her retrospective "All That Shines," she used Claude to write code for a computer-generated animation, presented as a new video installation.

Having a lot of fun making games with Fable 5.2! This is Starwheel, a game inspired by one of my favorite puzzle games Drop7. The map was created using 7th-century star charts from the public domain.

Thrilled to share new work from our experimental biology lab at @AnthropicAI. Led by world-class biochemist Januka Athukoralage, we built a rapid method for the isolation and structural characterization of vaults. It turns out these massive structures are not just found in lso in prokaryotes and even phages. We solve the structure of one of these phage vaults, and then demonstrate we can engineer additional repeats into the wall to make it bigger.
One thing I can't get over about these vaults. They seem to be widespread across life - we assembled them from 8 different bacteria and bacteriophages. But they are just so massive - bigger than ribosomes, AAV, and even some phage capsids. Why devote so much energy to making these huge complexes? They have to be doing something useful - I hope that's the question that gets answered next.
Amazing collaboration with @PeterHYoon, @amirshanehsaz, @eric_kabrams, and @mgdurrant! Grateful to our team for making Claude an amazing labmate and to Anthropic for supporting this type of work on fundamental biology.
Natural mysteries abound - let's get to solving them!

We’re sharing how our biology research team worked with Claude to map the first 3D structure of a vault particle from bacterial life.
Vault particles are a longstanding mystery. They are barrel-shaped objects, among the largest protein structures found in our cells. They were first discovered by Leonard Rome and Nancy Kedersha in 1986, but their function remains unknown.
With Claude, we’ve found results that might bring us closer to solving that mystery.
Until now, vaults were only known in the cells of complex things like animals and plants. We have shown that similar proteins from bacteria (and the viruses that infect them) can also assemble into vaults. Finding the structures in these simpler forms of life may make it easier to investigate their function in our own cells.
For our life sciences team, the project was also a demonstration of the potential (and the limitations) of using AI to accelerate science.
In our full piece, we discuss how Claude was able to dramatically speed up some stages—manually determining the vault particle’s structure would have taken weeks to months of painstaking work, but here it took days. We also discuss how Claude made some simple mistakes along the way, and how we collaborated with our machine learning researchers to address them.

The new Mariko Mori exhibition at @mori_art_museum features a 20-minute video installation created with the help of Opus 5.5.
Almost certainly the first time an Applied AI Engineer has been credited on the wall of an art museum.

A clip from Boris Acket's new 8-story installation in Amsterdam.
Claude Opus 5.5 is choreographing the fabric via 400 fans and lights, synced to live weather and audio data.
Truly mesmerizing. Open through Nov 1.

We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

An astrophysicist worked with Claude Science to create the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky. Astronomers have already created complete sky maps from radio to gamma rays. But large regions of the sky have never been observed in UV.
In today’s science blog, Brice Ménard explains how he guided Claude to find existing datasets, combine them, and fill in the gaps with statistical inference. The work would have taken humans weeks of work, but, with Claude, just took a few days while Ménard worked on other projects.
The resulting map is a useful teaching tool and an example of exactly the sort of slow, low-priority work which scientists never quite get around to, but which AI now makes feasible.
