Anthropic puts Claude's science tools in a single workbench

Anthropic shipped Claude's Science AI Workbench today — a suite of tools for research that live under one roof. It bundles Claude Research (the long-form reasoning model) with a notebook-style interface, code execution, and a search layer over arXiv and other papers. You can ask it to read and compare papers, then run the code it writes to verify results — all without leaving the page.

The workbench is built on top of Claude Sonnet 4.5, which Anthropic says handles the heavy lifting for reasoning-intensive tasks. The model can chain multiple steps — search, read, write, execute — without the user having to click through each one. Anthropic is offering it as part of the Claude API and the Plus subscription, so it's not locked behind a new product.

This is the kind of tool that matters for the people who actually write and read research. Not the researchers at the big labs, but the grad students, the postdocs, the independent writers — the ones who already use Claude but have to juggle a dozen tabs to do a literature review. Now it's one tab.

Why this matters for us: the tools are finally landing for the people who need them, not the people who built them. Esto te toca.
