A new paper details how an AI agent, Claude Opus-4.6, was used to autonomously scrutinize published computational physics papers. The agent successfully reproduced calculations from 111 papers, identifying methodological concerns in approximately 42% of them, with critiques emerging primarily after running the computations. In a deeper analysis of a single Nature Communications paper, the agent generated a six-page critique that revised the paper's headline findings, highlighting issues missed by human peer reviewers.
