# OpenAI lists an unannounced GPT-Rosalind life sciences model on its API pricing page

A model called gpt-rosalind-discovery now appears next to gpt-rosalind-research on OpenAI's pricing page, at the same price. OpenAI has not published a post or system card explaining what it does.

**In short:** OpenAI's API pricing page lists a model named gpt-rosalind-discovery in a 'Life sciences models' section, priced at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, the same as gpt-rosalind-research. TestingCatalog reported the listing on 10 October 2026; OpenAI has not announced the model.

## What the pricing page shows

OpenAI's API pricing page has a "Life sciences models" section that lists two models: gpt-rosalind-research and gpt-rosalind-discovery.[^1] Both are priced at $5.00 per million input tokens, $0.50 per million cached input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens.[^1] The page says eligible organisations "will continue to get access to the latest GPT-Rosalind models as they're released."[^1]

TestingCatalog reported the new listing on 10 October 2026.[^3]

## What OpenAI has not said

TestingCatalog said it found no blog post, help article or system card for gpt-rosalind-discovery, so its purpose is not confirmed.[^3] The name may suggest drug discovery, but OpenAI has not said so.[^3]

## Background on GPT-Rosalind

OpenAI introduced GPT-Rosalind on 16 April 2026 as "our frontier reasoning model built to support research across biology, drug discovery, and translational medicine".[^2] Access is through a trusted-access programme with a qualification and safety review.[^2] In a 11 September update, OpenAI said the model was coming out of research preview and becoming available globally to eligible organisations, with published pricing from 5 October 2026.[^2][^1]

## Why it matters

GPT-Rosalind is OpenAI's model line for life sciences, and access is restricted. A second listed model suggests the line is expanding, but OpenAI has not explained how the two models differ.[^1][^3]
