Claude Science

Anthropic's research workbench that runs locally so sensitive data stays on your machines.

Claude Science is an application from Anthropic aimed at researchers. It bundles dozens of scientific “skills” — structured tools for tasks like analysing data or checking citations — together with a verification agent that double-checks claims and references.

Its most notable feature is that it can run locally, meaning sensitive research data never has to leave the lab’s own machines. That directly addresses a common barrier to AI adoption in science and medicine, where privacy, confidentiality and regulatory rules often forbid sending data to an outside cloud.

Claude Science is a good example of a broader shift this site follows closely: powerful AI that keeps your data under your own control, rather than requiring you to hand it to a remote provider.
