OpenAI says coding agents are already helping scientists spend more time on real research, handling routine maintenance, targeted optimization, and even full redesigns.
The company adds that while agents can execute ambitious projects reliably, researchers still need to define the scientific questions, verify the results, and take ownership of the long-term direction.
