# Consensus accelerates research with GPT-5 and Responses API

# Claim

Consensus uses GPT-5 and OpenAI’s Responses API to power a multi-agent research assistant that reads, analyzes, and synthesizes evidence in minutes—helping over 8 million researchers accelerate scientific discovery.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section one: model and benchmark capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

OpenAI is describing a frontier or production capability that pushes directly on the thesis. The important signal is not the marketing language; it is the widening set of tasks now being routed through model-driven execution rather than ordinary software or headcount.
