Anthropic Launches 'Claude Science' for Researchers and Expands Its Infrastructure

Anthropic has announced the launch of 'Claude Science,' an AI-powered workbench designed specifically to serve researchers and scientists across disciplines, with the aim of accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and helping research teams analyze complex data, formulate hypotheses and review scientific literature more efficiently. The move comes amid an intense race in the artificial intelligence sector, in which major companies compete to offer more specialized tools that move beyond general uses toward deep applications in specialized fields. In parallel, reports reveal plans by the company to build a massive data center in Australia with a capacity of up to 1.4 gigawatts, an indication of the scale of investment required to run advanced AI models and meet the rising demand for them. This expansion in computing infrastructure reflects companies' recognition of the importance of computational power as the backbone of these technologies' development. Specialists believe that the shift toward specialized solutions such as scientific research may form the next wave in AI adoption, as vital sectors increasingly bet on its capabilities in processing knowledge.
