Weak Classifier Yields 6 Discoveries as AI4Science Bottlenecks Shift Upstream

A weak classifier with AUC 0.62 narrowed 65,578 candidate materials to 145 DFT calculations and still yielded 6 discoveries. The Discovery at Scale newsletter argues AI-for-science value is shifting from replacing simulations to fixing upstream bottlenecks.
