What happens when an AI company stops asking, “What does the model think?” and starts asking, “Can we test it in a real laboratory?” That is exactly where Anthropic appears to be heading. The company behind Claude has quietly established a wet biology lab in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it can carry out physical experiments rather than relying entirely on computer simulations.
Imagine asking an AI to help you investigate a complicated problem, write code, analyze research, and keep working for hours without constantly stopping to say it cannot help. That is the direction Anthropic is taking with its newest models. On September 1, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, two versions of the same underlying AI model designed for demanding coding, research, and knowledge-work tasks.
A new report by the African Development Bank is now placing Africa at the centre of the global AI growth conversation, not as a consumer of technology, but as a future builder of it. And the numbers? They’re massive. According to the Bank’s latest study developed under the G20 Digital Transformation Working Group, Africa could unlock up to $1 trillion in additional GDP by 2035 through inclusive AI adoption.
