GPT-5.2 Spent 12 Hours Thinking and Derived a New Physics Formula — Something Physicists Missed for 40 Years
GPT-5.2 derived a new physics formula that textbooks said was zero for decades. It simplified superexponentially complex gluon equations, spotted a pattern, and proposed a general formula — then proved it in a 12-hour reasoning session. Co-authored with Harvard, Cambridge, and IAS.
GPT-5 Becomes a Lab Scientist: Takes Over Robot Arms, Runs 36,000 Experiments, Cuts Protein Costs by 40%
OpenAI & Ginkgo Bioworks used GPT-5 with an automated lab. AI designed, ran, and analyzed experiments over 6 cycles/36k reactions. Protein production cost cut 40% ($698 to $422/gram). Real science, not a demo.
