Claude is live in India with in-country inference through Amazon Bedrock!

In August, we said this was coming. Our customers, especially in regulated sectors and government, want to use Claude on their most critical work, with requests processed in India. From today, they can.

Claude Opus 5.5 is here!

Delighted to share one of the first AI for Science stories from India.

Snakebite kills an estimated 58,000 Indians every year. Commercial antivenom is raised against just four species, from venom collected largely in one district of Tamil Nadu, so it often fails against bites elsewhere in the country.

Dr Kartik Sunagar's Evolutionary Venomics Lab at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru has spent years mapping how venom varies across India's cobras, kraits and vipers. With support from Anthropic's AI for Science program, his team is now using Claude to curate and annotate that data, hunting targets for a next-generation antivenom that works pan-India.

Dr. Sunagar's lab was the first in India to receive an AI for Science grant. India now has many more. I'll be sharing their work here over the coming weeks.

If frontier AI could accelerate your research, we'd like to hear from you. AI for Science offers free API credits to researchers on high-impact projects: lnkd.in/eeM_Fcrm. And Claude Science, our new AI workbench for scientists, is at claude.com/science.

Congratulations Dr Kartik Kannan Sunagar and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) team.

Thanks a lot for an insightful meeting @JitinPrasada and the leadership team.

Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 are here!

Our most advanced models yet for coding and knowledge work, with research capabilities that offer an early glimpse of how AI will contribute to scientific progress.

A few headlines from the announcement:
→ Fable 5.1 is live now on the Claude API, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
→ Around 25% lower cost than Fable 5 for typical workloads, and up to ~45% for highly agentic work, with cache reads now 75% cheaper.
→ A new performance frontier: 52.6% on Terminal-Bench-Science, more than double Fable 5.
→ Enterprise Frontier Safeguards: complete privacy for enterprise customers, with data held in infrastructure they control, rolling out in phases later this year.
→ Fable 5.1 built a new elevation map of a third of Venus from 30-year-old NASA radar data.

To every developer and builder in India: this is your moment. The breakthroughs that define the next decade - in science, in industry, in how a billion people live and work, are yours to build, and these models are built for that ambition.
