"Among the OpenAI users and messages sampled, ChatGPT was used most for advanced research in computer science, data science and AI. What they're saying: "More researchers are using advanced reasoning systems to make progress on open problems, interpret complex data, and iterate faster in experimental work," Kevin Weil, VP of OpenAI for Science, said in the report. "We're still early, but the pace of adoption and the quality ofthe work suggest science is entering a new acceleration phase.""
"How it works: Most scientists and engineers use ChatGPT for writing and communications, per the report. The smallest share use it for analysis and calculations. GPT-5.2 has now "progressed past competition level performance toward mathematical discovery," according to the report, with the most users turning to it for structural equation models. The report also shows frequent ChatGPT use for computational chemistry and particle physics, among other types of biology, chemistry and physics work."
Average weekly message counts on advanced hard-science topics grew nearly 47% over the year. As of January there are nearly 1.3 million weekly users discussing advanced hard-science topics, totaling about 8.4 million ChatGPT messages. Topics include graduate- and research-level math, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. ChatGPT is used most for advanced research in computer science, data science and AI. Most scientists and engineers use ChatGPT for writing and communications while the smallest share use it for analysis and calculations. GPT-5.2 has progressed toward mathematical discovery and is often used for structural equation models. Frequent use appears in computational chemistry and particle physics. OpenAI urges policymakers to expand AI skilling, open data and frontier access, and modernize AI infrastructure.
