OpenAI agents analyze mouse brain data in 32 minutes, a job that would take humans months

OpenAI teamed up with PerturbAI and Scripps Research to deploy thousands of AI agents that analyzed biological data from millions of mouse cells — in 32 minutes, a job that would take humans months. Why it matters: this is AI for Science moving from single-model demos to full-scale agent swarms in real research — when research analysis can be compressed by two orders of magnitude through parallel agents, the ceiling on scientific productivity gets rewritten.
