AI for Science expands to foundations and institutions

Anthropic is expanding its AI for Science program, which provides free Claude credits to researchers, to include 20 scientific foundations, institutions, and research groups worldwide. Partners include the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Simons Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, the US National Science Foundation, the Space Telescope Science Institute, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL, and research projects such as FlyWire, LEAP, AstroPath, gnomAD, and Tau Ceti. The program, started in May 2025, has also produced efforts like the Model Hardware Standard with HHMI Janelia and AI agent teams at the Allen Institute, with many projects expected to yield open datasets, software, standards, and shared libraries.
