Openscience

OpenScience is an open source AI workbench for scientific research. It brings literature search, code, experiments, compute and results into one workspace, where an agent reads papers, writes code and runs analyses alongside the researcher. It installs from the command line through curl, npm or npx. The tool is model agnostic. Free models are included, and users can connect Claude, GPT, Gemini or any other provider with their own keys, or sign in with a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription. The agent can query scientific databases such as UniProt, PDB, ChEMBL, PubChem and arXiv as tools, and it ships with 371 bundled skills across biology, chemistry, physics, machine learning and writing. It manages compute by building environments and scaling from a laptop to a cluster or GPUs, and several agents can run in parallel on the same project. The site describes the company as backed by Y Combinator and publishes its own benchmark results, which are the vendor's figures. It suits researchers, computational scientists and labs who want an agent that works with real files, terminals and datasets rather than a chat window. The software is free and open source. An optional service called Ace provides a managed, reviewed set of models and research search through one wallet, funded with a $20 pay as you go balance. Direct routes add no fee, OpenRouter funding fees are included in wallet rates, card processing is separate, and users can set a monthly cap and cancel at any time. Memory and exclusive plugins under Ace are listed as coming soon.
