What is changing?
Anthropic expanded its AI for Science program to 20 scientific foundations, research institutions and project groups around the world. The program provides free Claude credits to researchers working on high-impact projects. The company says it has supported hundreds of projects across biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, climate science and mathematics.
Partners include the Alfred P. Sloan and Simons foundations, the US National Science Foundation, the Space Telescope Science Institute, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL and the Francis Crick Institute. Anthropic is also working with HHMI Janelia on the Model Hardware Standard for safely operating laboratory instruments with AI agents; the standard remains in research preview.
The Allen Institute is building teams of agents to analyze open scientific data. Some projects are expected to produce open datasets, open-source software, standards and shared libraries. Anthropic stresses that many collaborations are still at an early stage.
