Anthropic Expands Claude Access and Computing Credits for Scientific Researchers
Anthropic announced an expansion of its scientific support initiatives, introducing a dedicated team plan offering 10,000 free and discounted Claude seats alongside expanded compute credits and specialized model access programs.
Anthropic is launching 10,000 one-year seats under the Claude team plan for scientists, featuring free standard seats and $15 monthly premium seats with 5x usage limits.
The AI for Science program is expanding beyond biological sciences into additional scientific disciplines, offering up to $50,000 in credits per project.
Academic and nonprofit principal investigators can verify their status to enroll and add members of their research labs.
Due to dual-use risks, biology and chemistry queries remain limited to Opus-class models and blocked on Claude Fable models, while Anthropic works with the US government on Mythos-class access.
Claude Team Plan for Scientists
The new team plan provides 10,000 seats globally for one year, with plans to expand further in coming months. Standard seats are free, while premium seats with five times the usage limits cost $15 per month. Eligibility is restricted to principal investigators or their equivalents at academic or nonprofit research institutions, who can add their lab members after verification.
Expanded Fields and Compute Credits
Anthropic is broadening its AI for Science credit program beyond its initial focus on biological sciences to cover compute-heavy research in fields such as mathematics and physics. Labs needing capacity beyond standard or premium subscription limits can apply for up to $50,000 in project credits.
Model Restrictions and Government Partnerships
To mitigate potential dual-use risks, Claude Fable models continue to block professional biology and drug development queries, keeping biology and chemistry researchers restricted to Opus-class models. Meanwhile, Anthropic has enrolled initial participants in a partnership with the US government to develop an access framework for life sciences professionals to use Mythos-class models.

Anthropic 扩大对科学家的支持计划
Anthropic 宣布拓展对科研群体的支持,推出面向科学家的 Claude 团队计划并开放首批 10,000 个免费及优惠席位,同时扩大其“AI for Science”资助范围。
面向全球科学家开放 10,000 个为期一年的团队计划席位,标准席位免费,高级席位每月 15 美元并提供 5 倍用量
AI for Science 计划从主要支持生物学扩展到更多高算力科学领域,单项目最高可申请 50,000 美元积分
申请团队计划须为学术或非营利研究机构的主要研究者(PI)或同等职位
生物和化学研究暂时仍受限于 Opus 级别模型,团队正与美国政府合作推进 Mythos 级别模型的生命科学访问项目
科学家团队计划与积分资助扩展
Anthropic 推出面向科学家的 Claude 团队计划,为全球科研人员提供 10,000 个为期一年的订阅席位,其中标准席位免费,高级席位(5倍使用额度)每月 15 美元,后续计划进一步扩大规模。此外,AI for Science 计划从以往主要支持生物科学,拓展至更多需要密集计算的科学领域,任何研究人员均可为单个项目申请最高 50,000 美元的积分支持。
申请资格与模型安全限制
申请科学家团队计划需为学术或非营利研究机构的主要研究者(PI)或同等级别人员,通过验证后可将其实验室成员加入计划。在模型使用方面,鉴于两用风险,生物与化学领域研究人员目前仍仅限于使用 Opus 级别模型,Claude Fable 模型会继续拦截专业生物与药物开发查询。Anthropic 正在与美国政府合作建立生命科学专业人士使用 Mythos 级别模型的准入项目,目前已接纳首批参与者。

As Claude becomes increasingly capable at scientific research, we are focusing on building products and programs to support the research community. In June, we launched [Claude Science](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-science-ai-workbench), a product that integrates the tools that researchers most commonly use, produces auditable artifacts, and provides flexible access to computing resources. We have also continued to broaden our [AI for Science program](https://www.anthropic.com/news/ai-for-science-program), which provides free credits to researchers working on high-impact scientific projects.
Starting today, we are announcing a significant expansion of these efforts. We are opening 10,000 seats for scientists around the world to access Claude subscriptions for free and at discounted rates for one year through our new [Claude team plan for scientists](http://claude.com/programs/team-plan-for-scientists). Standard seats will be free and premium seats with 5x usage limits will be available for $15 per month. Over the coming months, we intend to extend this program well beyond the initial 10,000 seats.
Alongside these subscriptions, we are also expanding the scope and scale of our [AI for Science](https://www.anthropic.com/news/ai-for-science-program) program. To date, we’ve largely supported scientists using Claude for biological sciences. We are now looking to offer credits for researchers in other scientific fields as well, including those working on ambitious, compute heavy-research, such of the kind that resulted in progress on the [Riemann zeta function](https://www.anthropic.com/research/riemann-zeta) and [Claude’s work on protein design](https://www.anthropic.com/research/Claude-accelerates-protein-design).
By helping scientists access and increase their usage of Claude through subscriptions, credits, and products like [Claude Science](https://claude.com/product/claude-science), we aim to radically accelerate scientific discovery.
To register for our Claude team plan for scientists, please [complete the verification form here](http://claude.ai/redirect/website.v1.1cb83781-53ab-47b9-9601-2d4cb51089d1/labs-verification/attestation). You must be a principal investigator or equivalent at an academic or nonprofit research institution to qualify; once verified, you can add the researchers in your lab to your plan.
As your lab makes use of your allotted credits and requires more usage than standard or premium plans provide, you can [apply to our AI for Science program](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwDGfVg2lHJ0cc0oF_ilEnjvr_r4_paYi7VLlr5cLNXASdvA/viewform?usp=dialog) for up to $50,000 in credits per project. Any researcher is eligible to apply.
For now, researchers working in biology and chemistry will still be limited to our Opus-class models. Claude Fable models will [continue to block](https://www.anthropic.com/news/improving-fable-5-s-biology-safeguards) professional biology and drug development queries because of their potential dual-use risks. We’re working in partnership with the US government to establish an access program for life sciences professionals to use Mythos-class models for life sciences research and development. We have now enrolled our first participants, and expect to share more and increase access soon.
