Claude Opus 4.5 on a graduate-level theoretical physics calculation — a workflow where AI vastly accelerates an expert's work. The second is a practical guide to running single-agent Claude for long-horizon scientific tasks, using early universe modeling as the test case. The blog will publish Features on notable results, Workflows for researchers, and Field Notes on developments across the field.Anthropic frames this around the "compressed 21st century" thesis — AI compressing decades of scientific progress into years. Fields Medalist Timothy Gowers captured the current moment: "our research is greatly sped up by AI but AI still needs us."
If you're a researcher using AI in your workflow, the Science Blog's launch posts on AI-supervised physics and long-running scientific computation are worth reading as reference points for what's working today.
Introducing the Anthropic Science Blog. Increasing the pace of scientific progress is a core part of Anthropic’s mission. The Science Blog will feature new research and stories of how scientists are using AI to accelerate their work. Read the intro: https://t.co/1P9BDyX3xG
