What changed
OpenAI launched GPT-Rosalind in research preview across ChatGPT, Codex, and the API for qualified customers, and paired it with a Life Sciences research plugin for Codex.
Why it matters
It extends OpenAI's agent stack into a regulated scientific workflow layer where tool use and evidence synthesis matter more than chat.
Evidence
OpenAI says the model is optimized for scientific workflows across chemistry, protein engineering, genomics, and multi-step discovery tasks.
