Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

Regardless of how we look at AI large language models (LLMs) - as a massive collection of data from which we can cleverly extract information, as an assistant who can perform simple tasks for us and write simple codes, or perhaps as a machine that randomly selects words, in a sense guided by what it have had has seen in the past - we are undoubtedly witnessing a revolution.In the seminar, I will discuss selected aspects of the use of modern large language models, such as Gemini, Grok, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Claude. I will discuss the concept of a single prompt and its use to generate computer code for dozens of models across computational physics, statistical physics, computational fluid dynamics.
I will illustrate the presentation with practical examples from statistical and soft-matter physics and include results of students from the modelling class given by me at the same week at UW.
