BigHat Biosciences

Today @BigHatBio and @AnthropicAI released a joint demonstration of how challenging antibody engineering problems can be accelerated under a new paradigm powering frontier AI with a fully integrated and agent-accessible rapid-feedback wet lab. By reimagining the traditional antibody engineering framework focused on sequence optimization, our joint work shows that faster and better outcomes along with new scientific insights come as human-agent teams reason over the full experimental process alongside each produced antibody design.

BigHat has built an Agentic Lab Control Harness that brings every computational and experimental workflow at BigHat into the same control plane for today’s best frontier intelligence. We’re proud to be selected as an initial antibody therapeutic partner by Anthropic to reimagine what is possible in drug creation at today’s technology frontier.
