OpenAI is introducing a specialized language model focused on biology, designed to help researchers with analysis, hypothesis generation, and scientific workflows. This reflects a shift toward domain-specific AI tools that are built for real-world professional use rather than general conversation.

Could massively speed up research if used properly

Specialized models are clearly the future

Cannot disagree with that. Good debate though, fair play.

Most people use AI as a search engine replacement and miss what it is actually good at.

Seems like it from what I have seen. Interesting to see where it goes.

I trust recommendations from people who have actually used it over a month, not first impressions.
