AIPOCH Open-Science

AI research workbench for reproducible science — open-source, local-first, and model-agnostic.

AIPOCH Open-Science is an AI research workbench for scientists and researchers, developed by AIPOCH with an open-source, local-first, model-agnostic approach. It enables reproducible, inspectable research with scientific AI agents, Python and R execution, scientific data connectors, and cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Create a project, describe your research goal in plain language, and let the agents read files, search the web, run code, query scientific data sources, and produce reports, tables, and figures with traceable provenance—all in one workspace.

AIPOCH Open-Science supports computational and data-intensive research across disciplines, including machine learning, statistics, life sciences, chemistry, materials science, physics and environmental science. It supports the research process from literature review and hypothesis development to code execution, data analysis, simulation, visualization, and the production of traceable research outputs.

Completed research sessions can also be exported as portable .science packages for review, handoff, and archiving, with selected conversation branches, file versions, Notebook records, and verification evidence.

💡 AIPOCH Open-Science v1.0.0 (updated October 2026). This milestone brings together the local-first research workspace, scientific agents, Python/R Notebook execution, literature tools, and portable .science research packages. See the 1.0.0 release notes for changes since v0.37.2 and CLI upgrade changes. Downloads continue to follow the latest published release.
