OpenAI Launches Prism Research Collaboration Workspace

On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced Prism, an AI-native workspace for scientists to write and collaborate on research, built on Crixet and powered by GPT-5.2 Thinking. Prism combines LaTeX editing, literature search, real-time collaboration, and AI-assisted equation, citation, and figure workflows, and is free for ChatGPT personal accounts with broader rollout planned. The launch raises quality and data-retention concerns amid studies showing AI-assisted papers gain productivity but have marginal scientific merit.
