LLM-driven design of physics-constrained constitutive models: two agents are better than one

The paper presents a novel multi‑agent approach to generating physics‑constrained constitutive models using large language models (LLMs). A Creator agent proposes a model tailored to the data, while an Inspector agent audits each proposal against nine physical constraints and requests refinement if violations occur. Experiments with constitutive artificial neural networks on brain tissue, rubber, and porcine skin show that adding the Inspector increases the proportion of models passing all checks from 90 % to 95 % for Claude Opus 4.7 and from 47 % to 60 % for Kimi K2.5, while the resulting models match or exceed expert‑designed models in accuracy and generalization.

Model Discovery Agent: LLM-assisted Bayesian experiment design for data-efficient discovery of mechanistic world models

arXiv:2608. 09696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting the answer to interventional ``what if'' questions --- the outcome of an action never taken --- requires a \emph{mechanistic}, causal model, not a curve fit; and learning such a model requires \emph{experiments}, because passive data leaves its mechanisms unidentified.

Sparse probes and murky physics: a case study of interpretability challenges in a foundation model for continuum dynamics

Generative AI emulators are increasingly used in scientific domains where we already have strong theory, benchmarks, and physical intuition. This raises a central evaluation and interpretability question: when a foundation-style model can reproduce known continuum dynamics, what internal mechanism supports that behavior, is the internal behaviour consistent with known physics, and how does it relate to where the emulator succeeds or fails?

Zero-shot rib design: merging training-free generative prior with topology optimization

The paper introduces a method that integrates a frozen text‑to‑image diffusion model into density‑based topology optimization via score distillation sampling. By converting a natural language prompt into a generative gradient, the approach lets physics decide which design features survive, achieving significant compliance reductions across multiple domains and physics regimes. An automated pipeline then transforms the optimized density fields into CAD‑ready geometries.
