According to OpenAI on Twitter, GPT-5 was integrated with Ginkgo's autonomous lab, enabling the AI model to autonomously propose, execute, and iterate on experiments for protein production. This closed-loop system allowed GPT-5 to learn from experiment results and continually optimize processes, resulting in a 40% reduction in protein production costs. As reported by OpenAI, this collaboration highlights significant business opportunities for AI-driven automation in biotechnology, showcasing how advanced language models like GPT-5 can drive efficiency and cost savings in large-scale laboratory operations.
