OpenAI Launches Rosalind Biodefense Initiative, Giving Select Partners Access to AI Model Built for Pandemic Preparedness

OpenAI launches Rosalind Biodefense, granting select U.S. government agencies, labs, and global partners access to GPT-Rosalind, a frontier AI model designed to bolster pandemic preparedness, outbreak response, and biological threat detection across the full threat lifecycle.

• OpenAI is launching Rosalind Biodefense, a new initiative providing trusted developers with sponsored access to GPT-Rosalind, a frontier reasoning model built for life sciences, to build biodefense and pandemic preparedness applications.
• GPT-Rosalind access is being expanded to select U.S. government and allied partners, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and CEPI, to support missions spanning outbreak response, diagnostics, and medical countermeasure development.
• The initiative targets the full biological threat lifecycle, from early detection and epidemiological modeling to screening and societal resilience, with applications open globally to academic, nonprofit, government-affiliated, and mission-driven organizations.
