The software brings together a number of tools scientists commonly use, including more than 60 scientific databases, the firm said. The idea, according to the company, is to make it simpler for scientists to automate multistep tasks, ask questions using plain language, and get answers without having to query many individual sources of information.Claude Science is being offered as a beta version to the company’s paid users, Anthropic said.Breaking business news, incisive views, must-reads and market signals.

Please try againAnthropic and rival OpenAI have spent much of the past year developing AI tools to streamline a wider range of professional tasks — from financial services to science and healthcare — with the goal of courting more business customers and justifying their lofty valuations. Anthropic, now valued at US$965 billion, is pushing toward an initial public offering as soon as this fall.Anthropic’s moves, in particular, have rattled markets in recent months, reflecting broader concerns about which companies and services will eventually be rendered obsolete by AI. In February, for instance, Anthropic introduced a tool for Claude Cowork to automate certain legal work, such as contract reviewing and legal briefings; that move helped trigger a US$1 trillion stock market rout.Anthropic expects to announce Claude Science at an event in San Francisco where chief executive Dario Amodei will speak, along with executives including Chris Boerner, CEO of drug maker Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., and Vas Narasimhan, chief executive of drug maker Novartis AG and an Anthropic board member.Anthropic said Claude Science uses existing widely available Claude models, such as Opus 4.8, which Anthropic released in May. The outputs from Claude will include traceable details that let scientists confirm the accuracy of the information, the company said. Images the app generates will include details of how it made them as well.The release comes less than two weeks after the startup disabled access to its most advanced AI models — Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — due to a Trump administration order to keep the technology out of the hands of foreign nationals. On Friday, Anthropic won United States approval to restore some access to Mythos 5, after resolving Trump administration concerns about the technology’s potential threats to national security; there has been no announcement regarding any change to restrictions on use of the Fable 5 model.
