Claims about whether AI systems can generate novel scientific hypotheses, research ideas, or discoveries in scientific fields. Excludes AI-produced mathematics, covered by AI mathematical discovery, and AI use specifically to automate research and development of AI itself.

LLMs substantially improved the best-known quantum computing algorithms during 2026.

LLM-discovered quantum algorithms in 2026 achieved only constant-factor resource reductions, not new asymptotic speedups.
