PerturbAI and OpenAI agents analyze an 8-million-cell brain atlas in 32 minutes

PerturbAI says a system developed with OpenAI and Scripps Research used nearly 2,000 AI agents to analyze its whole-brain dataset in 32 minutes. The agents connected experimental results with scientific literature and flagged leads for further investigation. In blinded comparisons, biology experts preferred the multi-agent interpretations over single-agent reports 75% of the time, according to the company. PerturbAI and OpenAI plan to apply the approach to drug-target discovery.
