Digest

Anthropic has launched "AI for Science," a program providing scientists with API access to their AI models to accelerate research in fields like genetics and drug discovery. Researchers can receive up to $20,000 in API credits. This initiative emphasizes AI as a tool to augment, not replace, human researchers. Additionally, Anthropic has added a web search feature to its Claude API, allowing developers to combine Claude models with real-time web data. This feature handles multi-step research tasks, is available for various Claude models, and costs $10 per 1000 searches. It integrates with Claude Code for accessing technical information, bridging the gap between static AI models and dynamic real-time data.
