Bristol Myers Squibb said on Wednesday it is partnering with Anthropic to make its Claude AI model available to over 30,000 employees in an effort to accelerate the discovery, development and delivery of new medicines. • Bristol said it will also leverage Claude Code, Anthropic's coding tool, and evaluate its use in research, drug development, manufacturing and other commercial and medical affairs. • Agentic AI, which requires little human intervention, could increase clinical development productivity by about 35% to 45% over the next five years, consultancy McKinsey said last year.
