Summary

Story summary

SandboxAQ now provides its physics-grounded AI models via Anthropic’s Claude chat platform, eliminating the need for specialized computing infrastructure.
The integration lets users run drug-discovery and materials-science simulations through natural-language prompts.
SandboxAQ, an Alphabet spin-out chaired by Eric Schmidt, has raised more than $950 million.
Its proprietary large quantitative models perform quantum-chemistry, molecular-dynamics and microkinetics simulations using lab data, serving scientists at pharmaceutical and industrial firms after other software failed.
