Anthropic launches Claude Science, a flagship product for AI-driven research

Claude Science is Anthropic’s newest flagship product

Anthropic launched Claude Science, positioning it alongside Claude Code as a flagship product. It writes code, runs experiments on compute clusters, and prioritizes reproducibility—aimed at computational biology and drug discovery. A live demo showed it identifying drug candidates for phenylketonuria. Anthropic will also use it for in-house rare-disease research. Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz previously rated Opus 4.5's research ability at the level of a second-year grad student; Claude Science productizes that capability.

Why it matters: Anthropic flagship product launch with a clear positioning and live demo — a same-day must-write. Not above 90 because only a single MIT Tech Review report so far; pricing, availability, and multi-source confirmation are still missing.
