Boston Comp-Bio Hack: Claude Science, Modal, Flagship
On September 22, 2026, Anthropic, Modal, and Flagship Pioneering host a Cambridge computational biology hackathon from 09:00 to 19:30 EDT. The build stack is Claude Science plus a Modal workspace the user pays. Flagship is a co-host, not a sourced product integration, and no primary wires Claude Science to Lila.
Claude Science Ships as a Workbench With User-Billed Modal Compute
Anthropic launched Claude Science on June 30, 2026: a standalone beta workbench for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise on macOS and Linux. Modal bills the GPU jobs. Hugging Face hosts the 1,440-binder campaign that assumes the harness.
Claude Turns Open Protein Tools Into an Autonomous Binder Design Pipeline
Anthropic’s Claude autonomously ran protein binder design campaigns that produced validated hits for 14 targets. The larger signal is not a new biology model, but an AI agent capable of operating an entire computational workflow.
