"This fall, OpenAI deepened its investment in AI for science as the technology's next frontier, citing advancements in GPT-5 as proof of its viability as a research tool -- and eventual scientific automation system. As a first step to that end, OpenAI has launched Prism, a new collaborative workspace for scientists. "In 2025, AI changed software development forever," OpenAI said in the announcement. "In 2026, we expect a comparable shift in science.""
"OpenAI has invested heavily in demonstrating scientific use cases for its models, releasing papers on its prowess in mathematical discovery, cell analysis, and biology experiments. But the tools scientists currently use, OpenAI argued in the announcement, constrain "how research is done day to day." Enter Prism. Geared toward science writing and report compilation, which requires collaboration amongst several participants, Prism "brings drafting, revision, collaboration, and preparation for publication into a single, cloud-based, LaTeX-native workspace," OpenAI said, referring to the LaTeX scientific typesetting standard."
OpenAI launched Prism, a free collaborative workspace aimed at scientific research, powered by GPT-5.2. The platform integrates drafting, revision, collaboration, and LaTeX-native publication workflows in a single cloud environment. OpenAI positions Prism as a tool to support human-led science rather than replace researchers, emphasizing that GPT-5.2 performs at or above human expert level but should not autonomously automate research. Prism embeds GPT-5.2 within scientific projects to streamline workflows across disparate tools. OpenAI's investments include demonstrations of model capabilities in math, cell analysis, and biology experiments, indicating a push toward AI-enabled scientific tooling.
