Anthropic released Claude Science, an AI workbench for researchers. More than 60 preconfigured skills cover fields like genomics and computational chemistry, and a verification agent automatically checks citations and calculations. The app runs locally or on HPC clusters, so sensitive data never has to leave a lab's own infrastructure.

Anthropic's Claude Science is a capable AI research workbench built for molecular biology. The opportunities for the rest of science are enormous.

Anthropic's Claude Science is an AI workbench that unifies a scientist's tools and lets agents run the analysis, with a reviewer agent to check it.

The launch is part of Anthropic's life sciences and healthcare initiative, which the IPO-bound company has been developing since October 2025.

The company is doubling down on AI for science.
