Anthropic has acquired stealth biotech startup Coefficient Bio for over $400 million in stock, integrating its AI-driven drug discovery team into its life sciences group. The deal highlights AI's expanding role in biological research and pharma innovation.
Anthropic acquired Coefficient Bio, a stealth biotech startup founded eight months ago and backed by Dimension, in a deal valued at just over $400 million paid in stock.

Dimension, which held half ownership, achieved a 38,513% IRR on its investment in the young company.
