The beta workbench (macOS and Linux, Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise) acts as a project manager across 60-plus scientific databases, rendering 3D protein structures, genome browser tracks, and chemistry drawings alongside reproducible code. Anthropic explicitly said it is "not a new A...
Per-token prices went down at both labs. Subscriptions are draining faster at both labs. Those aren't in tension once you look at token counts. On the OpenAI side, r/OpenAI collected reports from Linux.do and NodeSeek alleging Astra consumes more Plus quota than its published...
