are driving scientific discovery

And yet no "discovery" is mentioned.

can apply the knowledge they gain from one class of physical systems to completely different problems...

And yet no example was given.

"To me Walrus feels like an exciting step"

What a feeling!

Their goal is to make tools that scientists can use in their day-to-day research.

Cool goal.

"Our hope is that..."

Well as long as the funding keeps coming.

Just guessing, but to the lay/-idiot, it seems that a model trained in physics and maths as opposed to language might do less hallucinating
