PerturbAI said a framework developed with OpenAI and Scripps Research used thousands of AI agents in parallel to analyze its whole-brain genomic dataset and synthesize insights in 32 minutes. The company compared that with an estimated months to a year of serial human analysis and literature review.

The findings appear in a joint preprint and blog post. The agents interpret experimental data, connect findings with scientific literature and generate hypotheses for scientists to test. PerturbAI and OpenAI are expanding their year-long collaboration into drug-target discovery using PerturbAI's causal data generated in living systems.
