Anthropic integration with Modal brings scalable compute to Claude Science

Anthropic’s Claude Science is presented as an AI workbench that lets life sciences researchers run computational workflows through conversations with Claude, using local sandboxed execution for smaller tasks and Modal’s cloud infrastructure for GPU-intensive or highly parallel workloads. The integration is designed to simplify workflows that traditionally require managing local machines, HPC clusters, cloud virtual machines, software environments, and job queues, while supporting elastic CPU and GPU capacity, shared storage through Modal Volumes, and reproducible dependencies through Modal Images. Example applications include protein structure prediction, enzyme mutation ranking across multiple models, genome-wide CRISPR screen design, virtual compound screening, and large-scale single-cell analysis. Claude Science is scheduled to launch June 30, and users can connect a Modal workspace through the app’s compute settings; Modal also plans up to $100,000 in compute support for selected academic projects in Anthropic’s 2026 Claude Science Cohort.
