## Summary

A guest post by ELLIS Institute Tübingen researchers Jakob Macke, Daniel Gedon, and Stefan Wahl says AI is starting to change scientific modeling. They say AI systems can now help build models and constrain parameters, using simulation-based inference and LLM agents that propose candidate models. The authors argue that interpretation remains hardest to hand to AI, and that returning a range of plausible models gives more insight than a single fit.
