- OpenAI, Scripps Research and PerturbAI used about 2,000 AI agents to analyse a mouse brain gene-switching dataset in 32 minutes.
- The team estimates the same analysis by hand would take researchers months to a year, according to the reporting.
- The agents suggested new leads for lab tests, but the work is a preprint not yet peer-reviewed, and the reasoning atlas is public on GitHub.
