OpenSense

OpenSense is positioned as "Claude Code for researchers," derived from the open-source AFO Science project and built on BIOS, and is aimed at students, teachers and researchers in fields such as biology, chemistry and physics, offering capabilities including literature review, paper analysis, source code reproduction and data simulation.

OpenSense supports the three platforms Mac, Windows and Linux, and is currently available for installation and use.

OpenSense has built-in research-specific Skills and paper data sources (all open source), and supports a plan-execute-review closed loop.

The uploader gave Tencent Cloud's paper on Terminal RSI to OpenSense to generate an RSI-related literature review; the output included charts, standard citations and complete formatting, and was judged as being "consistent with real papers in format and professionalism."

The uploader had OpenSense attempt to reproduce Google's Agent code and run the tests, but it did not fully finish running.

All OpenSense outputs can be traced back to the original data and cited sources, to avoid the model "fabricating" literature and to ensure credibility.

In OpenSense's settings, users can manage memory, import external memory, and connect MCP data sources.

OpenSense supports browser operation and Computer Use, and can automatically download papers and collect data; if GPU resources are available, it can run computations locally to verify paper data.

OpenSense's remote access feature allows deployment on one computer within a LAN and invocation from another, improving collaboration convenience.

The source code of the Tencent paper is not open-sourced, so OpenSense can only generate code for an approximate reproduction and cannot guarantee exact consistency; running large experiments is still limited by local compute.
