No public pricing
During the research preview phase, usage does not draw from existing API credits or tokens (subject to abuse-prevention limits). OpenAI has stated that pricing details and broader availability will be announced once the preview phase concludes.
The model is available exclusively to qualified corporate clients in the US under the Trusted Access program. Organizations must pass a security review covering three criteria: (1) conducting legitimate scientific research with clear public benefit, (2) having appropriate governance, regulatory compliance, and abuse prevention procedures, and (3) restricting access to approved users in secure environments. OpenAI has built in systems to detect potentially harmful activity. The access restrictions are a direct response to researcher warnings about the potential misuse of biological models for designing dangerous pathogens.
