SiLA Consortium

we accelerate innovation through standardization and interoperability in the laboratory

[XtalPi @XtalPi]

AI now generates molecules far faster than the wet lab can test them.

The bottleneck in #AIxBio has shifted. That’s why we've built one of the world’s largest self-driving lab fleets: 300+ workstations running 24/7, generating data 40x more efficiently.

#Standardization #LabAutomation

[SiLA Consortium @SiLAStandard]

@The__Taybor They are, with standards like #SiLA and how to improve the instruments, making them more sensitive, more robust, more sustainable, and cheaper, all using AI to help out. The future is bright!

[Tim Fallon, PhD @photocyte]

@The__Taybor IMO it is conceptually no different than something like @SiLAStandard or Benchling’s offering, just with the Anthropic star power and war chest behind it. Many hardware players will continue to view interoperability as a threat rather than opportunity

[SiLA Consortium @SiLAStandard]

Let's see where this goes - great validation for a common standard

[Pratham @Prathkum]

Holy shit! This might be one of the most underrated releases of the year.

Anthropic just gave Claude the ability to control physical lab equipment like microscopes, robotic arms, liquid handlers, lasers.

The results are wild:

– QuEra had Claude fix quantum computer lasers overnight, unsupervised. A fix that took human experts 5-10 minutes, Claude got down to 6 seconds. Success rate: 58% → 99.3%.

– Genentech had Claude self-optimize lab pipetting by scoring its own results against expert baselines, and converged on the right settings on its own.

– A university lab went from manual 4 am plate-swapping to Claude Code running the whole workflow hands-free.

– Claude even ran qPCR experiments that helped detect human sewage contamination in a California creek.

Automated science labs are closer than most people think.

Anthropic is somewhat back!
