Anthropic released Claude Science, a specialized desktop application for macOS and Linux that connects Claude models to scientific databases and compute infrastructure. The public beta app includes analysis specialists for genomics, single-cell biology, proteomics, and structural biology, with native connections to over 60 scientific databases.

Allen Institute for AI (AI2) has released DiScoFormer, a transformer model that estimates both the density and score of any distribution from a sample in a single forward pass without retraining. In 100 dimensions, the model reduces score estimation error by 6.5x and density error by 37x compared to classical kernel density estimation.
