[OpenAI: GPT-5 Demonstrates Ability to Assist Scientific Research in Real Laboratory Environments] According to a report by Jinse Finance and Axios, OpenAI has revealed for the first time that GPT-5 has demonstrated the ability to assist scientific research in real laboratory environments, indicating that artificial intelligence is expected to play a more central role in scientific experiments. Although AI has made rapid progress in fields like mathematics and physics, significant breakthroughs in biology have been relatively slow, as biology heavily relies on real-world laboratory work rather than just computational simulations. OpenAI has collaborated with the biosafety startup Red Queen Bio to build a testing framework to evaluate AI models' performance in laboratories. The laboratory involves 'wet' operations such as liquids, chemicals, and biological samples, distinguishing it from 'dry' laboratories focused on data analysis. In the experiments, GPT-5 suggested improvements to the molecular cloning experiment process, and after human scientists executed the suggestions, they provided feedback to GPT-5, which iteratively optimized the proposals based on the feedback. The experimental results showed that GPT-5 increased the efficiency of a standard molecular cloning process by 79 times.
