MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the  GRB250114A 24 sec after notice time and 63 sec after trigger time at 2025-01-14 07:34:22 UT. On our first (10s exposure)  set we  found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=166.588 dec=-15.1422 r=0.05).
