OpenAI's GPT-5 cuts protein synthesis costs by 40% with automated lab

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has partnered with Ginkgo Bioworks to utilize GPT-5 in an autonomous laboratory setting, significantly reducing the cost of cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS). This collaboration demonstrated a 40% decrease in protein production expenses by connecting GPT-5 to automated wet lab systems. The AI model proposed and ran over 36,000 unique reaction compositions across six experimental rounds, establishing a new cost-effective standard for CFPS. AI
