Anthropic says scientists use Claude more for analysis than ideas
Anthropic said on Nov. 5 that it classified 207,049 consumer-plan research sessions from Aug. 2 to Sept. 30, 2026: 128,914 in Claude and Cowork and 78,135 in Claude Code. Data analysis was 33.7% of Claude sessions and 48.1% of Claude Code sessions, against 27.6% of estimated researcher time, while ideation was 4.2% and 2.1%. Anthropic presents a possible doubling of output, and an up-to-15-fold case if AI did all non-physical work, as scenarios rather than measured results.
