# Consensus Research Tool Now Powered by OpenAI's GPT-5
OpenAI announced that Consensus, a popular research assistant platform, has upgraded to GPT-5 and the new Responses API to accelerate scientific research for its 8 million users.
The enhanced platform uses a multi-agent system to read, analyze, and synthesize research evidence in minutesâa task that traditionally takes researchers hours or days. By leveraging GPT-5's advanced capabilities alongside OpenAI's Responses API, Consensus can process scientific literature more efficiently and accurately than previous versions.
This upgrade represents a significant leap for academic and scientific communities. Researchers can now quickly gather and synthesize evidence across multiple studies, potentially speeding up the pace of scientific discovery across fields ranging from medicine to climate science.
The announcement also marks one of the first major real-world applications of GPT-5, OpenAI's latest language model, demonstrating
