## AI overview

Google Research reports an expert evaluation of six large language models on challenging high-temperature superconductivity questions. Experts graded the responses, finding that NotebookLM and a custom system performed best when drawing on certified, quality-controlled sources, while all systems showed areas for improvement. The study aims to inform the development of trustworthy AI tools for scientific discovery.
