Source: Carnegie Mellon UniversityAlso reported by Nature

Carnegie Mellon researchers reported in Nature that Coscientist, a system built on large language models including OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude, designed, planned and ran chemistry experiments on automated lab instruments from plain-language prompts.

Why it matters

Labs gained a published example of language models driving lab robots end to end, a pattern that AI co-scientist systems in 2025 and 2026 extended.
