Large language models (LLMs) have made unprecedented progress, demonstrating human-like language proficiency and an extraordinary ability to encode complex knowledge. The emergence of high-level cognitive capabilities in LLMs, such as in-context learning and complex reasoning, suggests a path toward the realization of artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, we lack scientific theories and tools to assess and interpret such an emergence of the advanced intelligence of LLMs. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been extensively applied in various areas of fundamental science to accelerate scientific research.
