This is one of the most important parts of the Mythos 5 announcement： Drug design.

Anthropic says its internal protein design experts used Mythos 5 to accelerate parts of the drug design process by around 10x.

In one example， Mythos 5 used protein design and bioinformatics tools without （！） human assistance and matched or beat skilled human operators.

It means the model could run parts of the early drug discovery loop itself： choosing binding sites， selecting tools， running protein design workflows， recovering from failures， and generating promising candidates.

And here is what people still dont understand outside of our community： AI is moving from "assistant that explains science" to "agent that can actually execute parts of scientific work."

The future of drug discovery may look less like one scientist manually testing ideas one by one， and more like thousands of AI-driven research loops running in parallel， with humans validating， interpreting， and deciding what actually moves forward.

I keep thinking about what Demis Hassabis said： we are entering the golden age of science. There is probably no doubt about that anymore.

Medicines are being developed faster and more precisely， and previously incurable diseases are becoming treatable.
