Anthropic has launched Claude Science, a new AI workbench designed to assist researchers in scientific endeavors, particularly in fields like computational biology and drug development. This product integrates over 60 scientific databases and tools into a single environment, aiming to streamline workflows and enhance reproducibility. Unlike a new AI model, Claude Science utilizes existing Anthropic models, such as Opus 4.8, and can run on a lab's own infrastructure to ensure data privacy. The launch signifies Anthropic's strategic focus on vertical-specific applications and workflow-level products, positioning it as a competitor to specialized AI tools from OpenAI and Google DeepMind.
