OpenAI, PerturbAI and Scripps use AI agents to analyse biological data

On 21 October 2026, OpenAI News announced that OpenAI, PerturbAI and Scripps Research had worked together to analyse data from millions of brain cells using distributed AI agents, surfacing promising research leads. The collaboration is said to show how large-scale agent coordination can be applied in practice to biological data analysis. The information released so far covers only the partners, the method (distributed AI agents), the scale of the data (millions of brain cells) and the interim result (promising research leads); specific findings, details of the data sources and next steps have not been disclosed.
