At @OpenAI, we believe that AI can accelerate science and drug discovery. An exciting example is our work with @RetroBiosciences, where a custom model designed improved variants of the Nobel-prize winning Yamanaka proteins. Today we published a closer look at the breakthrough. ⬇️ https://x.com/BorisMPower/status/1958915868693602475

Our custom LLM, gpt-4b micro, has helped achieve an advance in biology. It designed novel variants of the Nobel-winning Yamanaka factors that achieve a 50x increase in reprogramming efficiency in vitro compared to standard OSKM proteins.”” / X https://x.com/gdb/status/1958928877415510134

Just ran two very complex cases that perplexed physicians in our 89,000-member physician Facebook group by 5Pro
GPT5-pro provided an incredibly astute assessment, and extremely detailed diagnostic plan including pitfalls and limitations of prior imaging studies.
There has never been anything like this.
Like 50 of the world’s top specialists sitting at a table together tackling complex cases. Better than o3-pro.

💥 So excited to welcome Ashley Alexander to OpenAI to lead product for Health. Millions of people come to ChatGPT every day asking about health—theirs, their children’s, a spouse, a friend. Having free, 24/7 access to great medical advice is game-changing even for those of us”” / X https://x.com/kevinweil/status/1958955534750818309

Increasingly, the findings of controlled experiments go much further: doctors with off-the-shelf AI outperform those without in diagnostics… but AI alone outperforms doctors. Harder to know what to do with that. What systems or interfaces will result in better human-AI teams? https://x.com/emollick/status/1956787570685157464

Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it’s correct. Details below. https://x.com/SebastienBubeck/status/1958198661139009862
