Ah yes the 'language models!!!' which still solved a milenium problem.

Drugdiscovery has also a lot of physics involved btw

And you said ML yourself. You do understand, that the current LLM explositon also means that ML in itself gets more funding and now infrastructure for ML itself got easier to get, cheaper and faster right?

And yes for sure bigger and better LLMs can help: Alone for finding potential better or more optimized experiments, there is value in an LLM having all the current research in context.
