Anthropic opened applications for the next cohort of its Fellows program, funding engineers and researchers to work on high-priority AI safety questions. Pay is $3,850/week ($66K over 4 months) plus $15K/month in covered compute; the program is 4 months full-time with Anthropic researcher mentorship and aims for public outputs like papers. No prior experience is required. Since early 2025, 200+ fellows have participated and over 65% published work (TASTE, SLEIGHT-bench, Petri, subliminal learning, open-source circuits); one cohort's agents found $4.6M in blockchain smart contract vulnerabilities. Research areas span scalable oversight, adversarial robustness/AI control, model organisms, mechanistic interpretability, AI security, and model welfare. Applications are rolling; the January cohort closes October 18.
