Can you speak to what makes this different from simply including or configuring various agent skills? Or is it simply the combination of lots of helpful defaults that makes this product useful?
- rramadass 3mo agoThe FAQs at the bottom of the page answer your question.
- aabhay 3mo agoThe FAQ was exactly why I asked the question, since it made it seem like the answer is no.
- lebovic 3mo agoI can't speak for Claude Science, but I prefer using Biomni as an agent for bio over Claude Code with a custom setup because a) Biomni stays on the frontier for bio, b) it has a config that just works and skills I trust are correct, and c) it has better built-in abstractions for long-running sessions. As a concrete example, computational biology jobs sometimes run for hours on the Biomni HPC. When they're done, the session needs to reawaken, process the results, iterate, etc. You can implement something like this with agent callbacks, but it's not as straightforward. This repeats many times for many integrations, so it's just simpler for me to use an agent that's built for exploratory bio and already has all of this. Claude Science has some of these features, so I imagine they're aiming for something similar.
