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.
