OpenAI: Bringing GPT-Rosalind to academic research labs
Introducing the Rosalind Academic Plan, offering eligible academic labs sponsored access to GPT-Rosalind and tools to advance life sciences research.
OpenAI is launching an Academic Plan that provides free access to GPT-Rosalind, a specialized AI model designed for life sciences research, to eligible academic labs at U.S. universities. Participating labs can receive up to 30 free user seats for up to 12 months and access to frontier OpenAI models for research in areas including drug and protein design, disease detection, vaccines, genetic therapies, agriculture, ecology, and antimicrobial resistance. The program reflects OpenAI's goal of accelerating scientific discovery by giving academic researchers tools to combine their expertise with advanced AI reasoning, similar to how foundational university research has historically led to major breakthroughs like the Human Genome Project and CRISPR gene editing. Research data shared through the plan is not used to train OpenAI's models by default, and access is subject to a trusted-access approval process.
