Anthropic launched a new desktop app called Claude Science, arriving in beta today for macOS and Linux. The app “runs analyses, searches databases, and traces every step from data wrangling to publication, so you can spend time on science.” Claude Science is a public beta app, not a model, and uses the same Claude models included in a user’s plan. Anthropic states that general AI assistants cannot run a pipeline, navigate scientific databases, orchestrate cluster jobs, or keep track of previous sessions, whereas Claude Science manages compute environments per specialist and saves full provenance on every result. The app ships with analysis specialists for genomics, single-cell, proteomics, structural biology, cheminformatics, and more. It can connect natively to 60+ scientific databases and domain-specific open models, and uses skills in NVIDIA’s BioNeMo Agent Toolkit to connect to life sciences models and libraries in BioNeMo, including Evo 2, Boltz-2, and OpenFold3. The app is compatible with Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.
