SourceOpenAI published an exploratory field report highlighting eight projects where AI coding agents like Codex and Claude Code modernized scientific software infrastructure.
- The report examines eight scientific computing projects, primarily in life sciences, five using Codex alone and three using Codex with Claude Code.
- Projects included modernizing genomic libraries such as cyvcf2 using GPT-5.5.
- Researchers observed a shift from manual code implementation to human verification and orchestration.
