>.If the model comes up with anything even remotely correct it would be quite a strong evidence that LLMs are a path to something bigger if not then I think it is time to go back to the drawing board.

In principle I see your point, in practice my default assumption until proven otherwise here -- is that a little something slipped through post-1900.

A much easier approach would be to just download some model, whatever model, today. Then 5 years from now, whatever interesting discoveries are found - can the model get there.

Not really, QM and Relativity were chosen because they were theories that were created to fit observations and data. Discoveries over the next 5 years will be trivia rather than logical conclusions.
