Anthropic acquires biotech startup, launches political PAC

Anthropic has acquired stealth biotech AI startup Coefficient Bio for $400 million in stock, its most significant move yet into life sciences. The company has also launched a political action committee ahead of the US midterms, positioning itself to back candidates aligned with its policy agenda. Meanwhile, Anthropic's private-market shares have become the hottest secondary trade on Wall Street, even as OpenAI undergoes a C-suite shake-up with COO Brad Lightcap shifting to "special projects."
