Anthropic Launches Claude Science, an AI Workbench for Researchers
Anthropic
Anthropic launched Claude Science in beta on June 30, a desktop AI workbench integrating Claude with local code execution, 60+ scientific databases (genomics, proteomics, structural biology, cheminformatics), specialist sub-agents, and an automated reviewer agent that audits citations and calculations. Available on macOS and Linux for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
Why it matters
Anthropic's first dedicated scientific product signals a push into biopharma and life sciences R&D, competing with specialized science AI platforms by embedding AI agents directly into reproducible research workflows.
