Claude AI

10x Genomics and Anthropic have partnered to integrate 10x’s analysis tools into Anthropic’s Claude for Life Sciences via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows researchers to use natural language to explore single-cell and spatial biology datasets, democratizing access to advanced analysis that previously required computational expertise. Scientists can now leverage Claude for tasks like data alignment and clustering through a conversational interface, accelerating research and broadening adoption of 10x Genomics’ technologies. The collaboration aims to unlock new insights and accelerate scientific discovery by combining AI with biological data analysis.

Deloitte is partnering with Anthropic to deploy Claude AI assistant to its 470,000 employees globally, Anthropic’s largest enterprise deployment to date. Deloitte aims to enhance productivity and client solutions using tailored Claude “personas” for various roles and a dedicated Center of Excellence. This investment allows Deloitte to advise clients better, demonstrating AI’s potential and fostering internal innovation. The partnership underscores Anthropic’s global expansion and growing demand for AI solutions, following its recent model unveiling and significant funding round.

A federal judge preliminarily approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement in a copyright infringement class-action lawsuit. Authors claimed Anthropic illegally used their works, downloaded from pirated databases, to train its AI model Claude. The settlement, potentially the largest copyright recovery, involves Anthropic paying authors and destroying the datasets. This case highlights the conflict between AI innovation and intellectual property rights, setting a precedent for future AI training practices and copyright law. Anthropic aims to focus on safe AI development after resolving the claims.
