Anthropic Release Puts Science Startups on the Defensive

Sifted featured Dunia Innovations in an analysis on how Anthropic's Claude Science launch is reshaping the AI-for-science landscape. Co-founder and CEO Alexander Hammer was among the founders asked whether the release makes their company obsolete, offering perspective on why Dunia's early bets on proprietary data infrastructure, domain-specific models, and deep digital-physical integration position it distinctly from the layer frontier labs are now entering.

Dunia Innovations was featured in Investment Reports, with co-founder and CEO Alexander Hammer discussing the core challenges and vision behind the company's work in AI-driven materials discovery. The interview covers how Dunia's platform IRIS addresses the simulation-to-reality gap and the lab-to-factory gap, the partnerships underway with Valterra Platinum and Hitachi Hi-Tech, and the ambition behind the proposed GigaLab initiative, which aims to generate large-scale real-world datasets from self-driving laboratories to fundamentally change how materials science is done.
