Ginkgo Bioworks und OpenAI lassen GPT-5 biologische Experimente autonom steuern
Im Februar 2026 verband Ginkgo Bioworks GPT-5 mit seinem Cloud-Labor. Ueber sechs iterative Zyklen liefen 36.000 Versuchsbedingungen, bei denen die KI biologische Experimente selbst entwarf, durchfuehrte und aus den Ergebnissen lernte.
The article reports that in February 2026, Ginkgo Bioworks connected GPT-5 to its cloud laboratory, running 36,000 experimental conditions across six iterative cycles where the AI designed, executed, and learned from physical biological experiments.
Closed-loop biological experimentation at this scale would indicate AI moving from analysis to autonomous empirical research.
Suggests future labs where AI iteratively plans and runs wet-lab experiments with limited human direction.
