Anthropic streamlines research with Claude Science, rolls out cheaper Sonnet 5

Anthropic launched Claude Science on June 30, 2026, a dedicated AI research workbench available in beta to all paid subscribers. The platform consolidates computational research tasks—traditionally scattered across databases, analysis tools, notebooks, and terminals—into a single environment. The company also rolled out a cheaper version of Claude Sonnet 5, expanding access to its AI capabilities across Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscription tiers.
