OpenAI launched the Rosalind Academic Plan for academic research labs — eligible labs get up to 30 Business Standard seats free for up to 12 months and can use GPT-Rosalind after trusted-access approval

Why it matters

It gives access to all commercially available frontier models within plan limits, continuing the competition among labs to offer free seats to university research labs
