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

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

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

OpenAI just released HealthBench on Hugging Face. This new dataset is designed for rigorously evaluating large language models’ capabilities in improving human health. A vital step for AI in medicine! https://x.com/HuggingPapers/status/1960749923218895332

🔔 Two months ago, we released #IneqMath, which revealed the Soundness Gap: LLMs can guess answers to Olympiad-level inequalities problems, but still struggle to make rigorous proof steps. Since then, it’s been downloaded 4K+ times on HuggingFace! ➡️ https://x.com/lupantech/status/1960384184842879444
