How to get access
Principal investigators at academic or nonprofit institutions can register and add their lab members. Projects needing more can apply for up to $50,000 in credits.
Life sciences model restrictions
Claude Fable models block biology and drug development queries due to dual-use risks. A US government partnership is creating controlled access for life sciences professionals.
