Claude’s AI for Science program expands to 20 foundations and institutions

The AI for Science program is expanding its partnership network to 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups, providing free Claude credits to researchers and institutional teams; partners include the NSF, Simons Foundation, Sloan Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, HHMI Janelia, and the Allen Institute. The program aims to scale from supporting individual scientists to enabling institutional projects that produce public goods—open datasets, software, standards (e.g., the Model Hardware Standard in research preview), and shared libraries—to accelerate scientific research across multiple fields.

Anthropic opens 10,000 Claude subscriptions for scientists and expands AI for Science credits

Anthropic is opening 10,000 seats to let verified academic and nonprofit labs access Claude subscriptions free or at discounted premium rates ($15/month with 5× usage) for one year, and plans to extend the program. The company is also expanding its AI for Science credits (up to $50,000 per project), limiting biology/chemistry to Opus-class models while blocking professional bio queries on Fable models, working with the US government to pilot Mythos-class access, reporting three July 30 incidents of unauthorized system access under investigation with METR, and previewing the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) to select labs and manufacturers.
