OpenAI showed that AI agents can handle the slowest step in modern biology, making sense of huge experiments. By splitting a huge brain experiment amo...
OpenAI, PerturbAI and Scripps Research had 1,946 GPT-Rosalind-5.5 agents interpret a whole-brain mouse CRISPR atlas in 32 minutes, matching or refining 48 of the 55 published findings the expression data could support — without the agents ever seeing the paper. A single agent given 893 genes cited only 11 papers, while the split-up agents cited 711 times as many, and blinded PhD reviewers preferred their reports 75% of the time. It matters because labs can now produce experiments far bigger than their own experts can fully interpret, and this parallelization method may be the way to close that gap — it even surfaced a new drug lead around restoring cholesterol transport.
