Synthetic Sciences has released OpenScience, an open-source AI workbench for scientific research. It is licensed under Apache 2.0 and runs on your own infrastructure. The research team frames it as an open alternative to Anthropic’s Claude Science, launched in late June 2026.

The pitch is direct. Scientific AI tooling should not be owned by one vendor. OpenScience keeps the workflow open, the models swappable, and the data local. It is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

TL;DR

OpenScience is an Apache-2.0, model-agnostic AI workbench for machine learning, biology, physics, and chemistry.

It runs the full loop: literature, hypothesis, code, experiment, analysis, and write-up.
