✨ GPT-5 crossed a major threshold: over the last two months, we’ve heard repeated examples of scientists successfully directing GPT-5 to do novel research in math, physics, biology, CS, and more. If you have an example to share, please reply below! Prizes for the best ones 🧵👇

I’m NOT claiming GPT-5 is ready to prove the Riemann Hypothesis. It’s more at the “Lemma” stage today—when guided by an expert, it can do bounded chunks of novel science—things that maybe would have taken an professor or her postdoc a few days or a week to work through.

But this IS the beginning of accelerating science. Because if each path takes a week, you can only explore so many of them. If it takes 20 minutes with ChatGPT Pro, and you can run them in parallel, suddenly you can explore far more.

And remember, the model you’re using today is the worst it’ll ever be for the rest of your life. The idea that ChatGPT could do novel science sounded crazy a year ago, but here we are. Think where we’ll be in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months.

If you’re a scientist of any kind doing novel research with ChatGPT and are willing to share your examples, I’d love to see them. ✨I’ve got something special for the best ones, as judged by myself and @SebastienBubeck ✨

Reply here with a short explanation and a ChatGPT share link, or DM if you prefer. Extra context is great: I'd love to know what worked and didn't, how you're using it successfully, and what you'd love to see from the next model from a scientific PoV.

Excited for the replies! Lots more to come on this front. We're inspired by the successful examples we're seeing, and motivated by the ones that don't yet work.
