## Summary

Anthropic's IPO filing acknowledges the company lacks experience in physical experimentation and drug development, after CEO Dario Amodei repeatedly predicted AI would revolutionize biology. The filing says its life sciences work will require handling hazardous materials, lab equipment and regulations outside its software history. It also says any drug candidates "may never generate revenue" and faces lengthy, costly development pathways.
