OpenAI's mid-to-late June research + evaluation drop: LifeSciBench / rare-disease diagnosis / black hole simulations / shared standards

OpenAI shipped four mid-to-late-June research/evaluation posts, all surfaced here in one place: LifeSciBench, an expert-reviewed benchmark for life science research tasks (6/17); researchers use an OpenAI reasoning model to help diagnose rare diseases, identifying 18 new diagnoses (6/18); astrophysicist Chi-kwan Chan uses Codex to simulate black holes and test general relativity (6/11); OpenAI joins the Appia Foundation to support shared AI standards (6/23). All four are sourced from OpenAI's official RSS title + description; the page bodies are behind Cloudflare protection and specific numbers will be added once the bodies are reachable.
