OpenAI's GPT-5.4 powers AI chemist in robotic lab, boosting reaction yields

OpenAI and Molecule.one collaborated to integrate an AI chemist, powered by GPT-5.4, with a robotic laboratory system. This setup successfully executed 10,080 chemical reactions over three months, focusing on a challenging medicinal chemistry step. The AI's key recommendation to add TEMPO resulted in a significant yield increase, and human verification confirmed the improvements across multiple substrate pairs. AI
