Up to 30 Business Standard seats are listed at no cost for up to 12 months.

That count does not guarantee active seats, a full year of access, or strong performance in a scientific workflow.

U.S. university labs must qualify, and access requires trusted-access approval.

Labs without an Enterprise agreement use the trusted-access process, while labs with one use the university's Enterprise access process.

The buyer receives a capped, time-boxed trial rather than a permanent research entitlement, and the lab lead becomes the accountable point for institutional safety.

Missing details include pricing for ineligible labs, enrollment counts, and detailed workbench capabilities beyond medicinal chemistry, genomics, and wet-lab assistance.

Approval timing, monitoring practice, and what happens after the 12-month window are not stated.

Approval leads, and the seat count stays secondary.

After openai.com. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
