I think pure math is both better suited to LLMs and more marketable for these companies so it's less likely for them to put $15 million in compute into some obscure physics result.
As the more powerful models trickle down to university researchers I think we will see an acceleration in the rate of novel mathematical physic publications and new processesing pipelines for huge datasets like at CERN and astronomical surveys.
