Eligible academic labs get up to 30 Business Standard seats at no cost for up to 12 months, access to its commercially available frontier models within plan limits, and access to GPT-Rosalind, its life-sciences model with the Rosalind Workbench for tool use across medicinal chemistry, genomics and wet-lab assistance, subject to trusted-access approval.
