Why avoid clinical trials?

Anthropic is deliberately stopping short of clinical trials to avoid directly competing with established pharmaceutical companies. Clinical trials are the final, very expensive and highly regulated stages of drug development, involving testing on humans. By focusing on earlier lab-based research, Anthropic can collaborate with drug companies rather than becoming a direct rival.
