Free, Open-Source Alternative to Claude Science: OpenScience Lets Researchers Use Any AI Model Like DeepSeek or GLM
Shortly after Anthropic launched Claude Science, a specialized AI workbench for scientific research, the open-source community responded with its own solution: OpenScience. Developed by YC-backed Synthetic Sciences, this platform offers a full AI research workflow covering literature review, hypothesis generation, code experimentation, and paper writing.
Unlike Claude Science, which is restricted to macOS/Linux, paid users, and only Claude models, OpenScience is model-agnostic and free. Researchers can use any AI model—DeepSeek, GLM, Claude, GPT, or local models via Ollama—simply by providing their own API keys, keeping data private.
OpenScience features over 250 editable research skill packs, more than four times Claude Science's initial offering, and supports one-command installation. It emphasizes openness, arguing that scientific AI tools should not be controlled by a single company. The project includes a clear disclaimer of no affiliation with Anthropic, reflecting caution in the open-source community.
