OpenAI Pledges $17M in API Access for National Lab Researchers
OpenAI announced a national science initiative providing $4 million in Codex access for 2,000 Genesis researchers, $3 million in API support for two scientific campaigns, and up to $10 million in additional API usage for researchers meeting a $2.5 million spending threshold. The program also includes access to GPT-Rosalind bioscience capabilities and early model access for national-lab leaders. The initiative aims to integrate frontier AI into real research workflows at U.S. Department of Energy labs and universities.
