This is Anthropic, Read Aloud. Today: Expanding our support for scientists.

00:00:08.104 --> 00:00:10.248
Expanding our support for scientists.

3
00:00:10.698 --> 00:00:18.442
Anthropic is an A I safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable A I systems.

00:00:24.522 --> 00:00:45.492
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, a product that integrates the tools that researchers most commonly use, produces auditable artifacts, and provides flexible access to computing resources.

6
00:00:45.612 --> 00:00:54.268
We have also continued to broaden our A I for Science program, which provides free credits to researchers working on high-impact scientific projects.

7
00:00:54.718 --> 00:01:17.425
Starting today, we are announcing a significant expansion of these efforts. We are opening 10000 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. Standard seats will be free and premium seats with 5 x usage limits will be available for 15 dollarsper month.

8
00:01:17.545 --> 00:01:23.476
Over the coming months, we intend to extend this program well beyond the initial 10000 seats.

9
00:01:23.926 --> 00:01:36.057
Alongside these subscriptions, we are also expanding the scope and scale of our A I for Science program. To date, we’ve largely supported scientists using Claude for biological sciences.

10
00:01:36.177 --> 00:01:51.464
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 and Claude’s work on protein design.

11
00:01:51.914 --> 00:02:03.012
By helping scientists access and increase their usage of Claude through subscriptions, credits, and products like Claude Science, we aim to radically accelerate scientific discovery.

12
00:02:03.812 --> 00:02:05.181
Ways to access Claude.

13
00:02:05.631 --> 00:02:22.666
To register for our Claude team plan for scientists, please complete the verification form here. 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.

14
00:02:23.116 --> 00:02:38.707
As your lab makes use of your allotted credits and requires more usage than standard or premium plans provide, you can apply to our A I for Science program for up to 50000 dollarsin credits per project. Any researcher is eligible to apply.

15
00:02:39.157 --> 00:02:54.004
For now, researchers working in biology and chemistry will still be limited to our Opus-class models. Claude Fable models will continue to block professional biology and drug development queries because of their potential dual-use risks.

16
00:02:54.124 --> 00:03:11.185
We’re working in partnership with the U S 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.
