Summary

This article introduces the open-source AI research workbench OpenScience (YC-incubated), which serves as a free alternative to Claude Science, supports multiple model switching, comes with over 290 research skill packages and 30+ scientific databases, and can automate the entire research workflow. It also mentions Anthropic's official open-source Claude Cookbooks tutorial collection.

Open-Source Claude Science Alternative Goes Viral! One Command, Switch Between DeepSeek/GLM Freely—Researchers Rejoice! OpenScience is an open-source AI research workbench launched by a YC-incubated team, directly replacing Claude Science with absolutely no restrictions. Give it a research goal, and it automatically runs through the entire closed-loop workflow: literature search, hypothesis generation, writing code, running experiments, data analysis, and paper writing. Everything is done in a browser workspace with a file tree, editor, terminal, and real-time visualization — all in one place. Killer advantages: - Freely switch models: Supports Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, GLM, local Ollama, etc. Switch at will, keys connect locally, zero data leakage, completely free. - Powerful skills: 290+ research skill packages, 30+ top scientific databases (UniProt, PDB, arXiv, etc.) directly callable, covering machine learning, computational biology, cheminformatics, etc. - Minimal installation: One line in terminal 'npx synsci' and it's ready to use, fully open source under Apache 2.0. No more suffering from the Claude platform, paywalls, or model lock-in! OpenScience is the open way scientific AI should be.

Claude Science open-source alternative is blowing up! One command, switch between DeepSeek/GLM freely — researchers rejoice!

OpenScience is an open-source AI research workspace built by a YC-incubated team. It’s a direct open-source alternative to Claude Science, but with zero restrictions whatsoever.

Give it a research goal, and it automatically runs the full end-to-end workflow: literature search, hypothesis generation, code writing, experiment execution, data analysis, and paper writing. Everything happens inside a browser-based workspace with a file tree, editor, terminal, and live visualizations — all in one place.

Killer features:

  • Model switching on the fly: Supports Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, GLM, local Ollama, and more. Switch models freely. API keys stay local, zero data leaks, and completely free.
  • Massive skill pack: 290+ research skill packages, direct access to 30+ top scientific databases (UniProt, PDB, arXiv, etc.), covering machine learning, computational biology, cheminformatics, and more.
  • Dead-simple installation: One line in the terminal – npx synsci – and you’re good to go. Fully open source under Apache 2.0.

No more suffering from platform lock-in, paid tiers, or model restrictions with Claude. OpenScience is how scientific AI should be — truly open.
