Anthropic Unveils Claude for Life Sciences and Rolls Out Cloud-Run Claude Code on Web and iOS

The launches signal a pivot toward integrated, secure, workflow‑native AI.

Overview

  • Claude for Life Sciences formally enters the biotech sector with connectors to Benchling, PubMed, 10x Genomics, and Synapse.org, plus adoption partners Caylent, KPMG, Deloitte, AWS, and Google Cloud.
  • Anthropic says its Sonnet 4.5 model, released in late September, is significantly better at life‑science tasks such as interpreting lab protocols and supporting end‑to‑end research workflows.
  • Claude Code is now in research preview on the web and within Anthropic’s iOS app for Pro and Max subscribers, enabling parallel tasks across repositories with automatic pull requests and change summaries.
  • Each Claude Code job runs in an isolated sandbox with network and filesystem restrictions, with Git actions routed through a secure proxy and optional allowlists for package downloads.
  • Anthropic reports rapid commercial traction, claiming Claude Code contributes over $500 million in annualized revenue and that about 90% of the product’s own code was generated by its AI.
