Anthropic has launched Claude Science, an AI workbench aimed at supporting scientific research. Announced at an “AI for Science” event, the platform is designed to bring researchers’ tools and datasets into a single environment and reduce the effort needed to coordinate tasks across separate systems. Claude Science is available in beta and is positioned as Anthropic’s major push into laboratory and life-sciences workflows.
Across reports, the workbench is described as consolidating scientific computing and data resources, including connections to more than 60 databases and tools. It runs on Anthropic’s existing Claude models and is presented as requiring no specialized biology training. The platform supports common research activities such as planning experiments, analyzing complex data, and writing and running code. It also generates figures and visuals and helps with documenting and producing publication-ready outputs.
Anthropic frames the release as part of its broader life sciences and healthcare initiative, which it has been developing since late 2025. Companies say the goal is to streamline data management and computational workloads while keeping researchers in a unified, secure workspace.
