Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Anthropic’s AI for Science program — a new initiative aimed at accelerating scientific research and discovery by providing access to our API. Through this program, we will offer free API credits to support researchers engaged in high-impact scientific projects, with a particular emphasis on biology and life sciences. Why AI for Science? At Anthropic, we recognize AI’s vast potential to dramatically speed up scientific advancements. With advanced AI reasoning and language capabilities, researchers can better analyze complex scientific data, generate hypotheses, design experiments, and communicate their findings more effectively.

By reducing the time and resources required for scientific breakthroughs, we can contribute to solving some of humanity’s most urgent challenges. This initiative aligns with our vision of creating AI systems that deliver value to humanity, as detailed in our CEO Dario Amodei’s Machines of Loving Grace. We are especially interested in supporting AI applications that accelerate understanding of complex biological systems, genetic data analysis, drug discovery—particularly targeting major global diseases—enhancing agricultural productivity, and much more. Program Details The AI for Science program will provide substantial API credits to qualified researchers, who will be selected based on their scientific contributions, the potential impact of their proposed research, and how effectively AI can accelerate their work. How to Apply Researchers affiliated with research institutions interested in the AI for Science program can apply using our application form. Applications will be reviewed by our team, including experts in relevant scientific fields. We eagerly anticipate seeing how researchers leverage our API to push the frontiers of scientific discovery and generate meaningful positive impacts worldwide.
