This is a very good paper and you should all read it. However, to this part, I want to reply with Arthur Spirling: "Open generative AI models are a way forward for science" (doi.org/10.1038/d415...). Seriously, please don't default to sending students and other researchers to closed models.

Highlighted: "Establish high-tier API access to three commercial LLMs: OpenAI's GPT-4o, Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro"
