Researchers who helped to test OpenAI’s new large language model, OpenAI o1, say it represents a big step up in terms of chatbots’ usefulness to science.

Krenn was one of a handful of scientists on the ‘red team’ that tested the preview version of o1 for OpenAI, a technology firm based in San Francisco, California, by putting the bot through its paces and checking for safety concerns.
