Description

Over the past few months, AI and AI agents have fundamentally shifted research methodologies in theoretical physics. This talk is divided into two parts. First, we provide an overview and real-world examples of AI integration in daily research, ranging from "vibe physics" via chat interfaces to systematic agent-assisted-research using Codex and Claude Code. Second, we introduce our custom-built AI framework for the theoretical physics workflow, showcasing how it automates and enhances literature reviews, idea discovery, mathematical calculations, and result checking.
