What is changing?
OpenAI announced the Rosalind Academic Plan on October 15. The program gives eligible academic labs at U.S. universities ChatGPT Business Standard access for up to 30 members at $0 per user per month for as long as 12 months. The lab’s principal investigator or lab lead submits the application.
The plan provides access to commercially available frontier models, subject to usage limits. GPT‑Rosalind becomes available only after a trusted-access review. OpenAI evaluates the institution, researcher background, affiliation, and intended use, and applies safety-contact and usage-monitoring requirements.
Rosalind Workbench is designed to assist researchers with life-sciences work including medicinal chemistry, genomics, and wet-lab support. API access is not included. OpenAI says research data is not used to train its models by default.
