newsResearchers created CMT-Benchmark, a new dataset of 50 expert-level condensed matter theory problems to evaluate large language models' capabilities in advanced scientific research. The best performing model (GPT5) solved only 30% of problems, with the average across 17 models being just 11.4%, highlighting significant gaps in current AI's physical reasoning abilities.
Researchers introduce Carrée du champ flow matching (CDC-FM), a new generative AI model that improves the quality-generalization tradeoff by using geometry-aware noise instead of standard uniform noise. The method shows significant improvements in data-scarce scenarios and non-uniformly sampled datasets, particularly relevant for AI applications in scientific domains.
Researchers have developed VCWorld, a new AI-powered biological simulation system that combines large language models with structured biological knowledge to predict cellular responses to drug perturbations. The system operates as a 'white-box' model, providing interpretable predictions and mechanistic insights while achieving state-of-the-art performance in drug perturbation benchmarks.
