This is good actually. For the past 70 yrs or so physics was dominated by people with superb technical abilities. "Shut up and calculate" was the motto. We have reached the end of that route. Maybe it is time for philosopher physicists like Einstein and Bohr to shine again.
"Our initial evaluation suggested that GPT-6-Astra's score was in the late eighties followed closely by Opus 5.5. But, as we started to investigate the mistakes that the models might have made, the models, especially Astra, insisted that they were right and that it was the expert-supplied answers that were erroneous. When we went back to the experts it turned out, in multiple instances, that that the experts found some subtle errors buried deep inside their calculations. As they revised their answers, Astra's score started to inch up and it finally ended up with 98% (49/50)."
