Claude Science by Anthropic is an AI tool that assists scientists in conducting research. It is an integration of several research-related apps that allows scientists to analyze data, read scientific papers, generate visualizations, and write research papers.
Claude Science can handle complex research processes based on the instructions given. It is best suitable for computational biology and drug discovery where it has access to specific tools and computing power. This platform has been released to all paid Claude subscribers and used in the research done by Anthropic in treatment development for rare and neglected diseases.
As Anthropic claims, there are cases when scientists have to operate various tools and databases in the course of conducting their researches, which makes the whole process time-consuming and difficult. Claude Science offers a solution to the problem by creating a convenient place for scientists to do their work. It supports various research environments such as macOS, Linux, SSH-connected remote servers, and HPC.
The platform is currently offered to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise customers in beta.
The Workflow of Claude Science
It is capable of creating scientific figures, scientific manuscripts, and the corresponding code used to generate them. Claude Science enables the creation of advanced scientific visualizations like 3D structures of proteins, genome browser tracks, and chemical structures.
Researchers can collaborate with the AI through natural language to adjust figures, manuscripts, and continue editing until they are ready for publication.
When dealing with computing-intensive tasks like protein folding and genomics, Claude Science can automate workflow planning, get the necessary permissions to use computing resources, submit computing tasks to high performance computing systems, and use from one GPU to hundreds of them as needed.
Anthropic thinks that AI can accelerate scientific discoveries and healthcare research. Though earlier it introduced the connection of Claude with scientific software and databases, Claude Science is the first full-fledged AI platform for scientific research.
