  "account": "OpenAI has introduced Prism, a free workspace designed for scientific writing and collaboration. Built on GPT-5.2, a model specialized for mathematical and scientific reasoning, Prism integrates a LaTeX editor with AI assistance. The workspace aims to streamline the research process by keeping equations, citations, figures, and related literature within the same document context. Unlike previous tools that required switching between separate apps, Prism allows users to draft, revise, and prepare manuscripts directly within the editor. The product originated from OpenAI's acquisition of Crixet, a LaTeX platform, and is distinct from OpenAI's Rosalind initiatives. Prism's core advantage lies in its document-aware AI, which understands the manuscript's context, making it particularly useful for technical work where revisions depend on the relationships between equations, citations, and figures. Features include real-time collaboration with unlimited co-authors, the ability to convert diagrams or equations into LaTeX, and the option for voice-based editing. Currently, Prism is accessible for free to ChatGPT accounts in personal plans (Free, Go, Plus, and Pro) without seat limits. OpenAI plans to offer paid features on paid ChatGPT plans, though specifics are not yet detailed. While Prism is geared towards scientific research, its ability to work with complete documents could benefit other technical fields. Organizations interested in Prism through ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Education plans should wait for the planned expansion. Despite its potential, users should still maintain a review process for AI-assisted writing, especially concerning accuracy, citations, calculations, and authorship.",
