Abstract
Instrumenting a gigaton of ice at the geographic South Pole, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been at the forefront of groundbreaking scientific discoveries over the past decade. These include the observation of a flux of TeV-PeV astrophysical neutrinos, detection of the first astrophysical neutrino on the Glashow resonance and evidence of the blazar TXS 0506+056 as the first known astronomical source of high-energy neutrinos. Several questions, however, remain, pertaining to the precise origins of astrophysical neutrinos, their production mechanisms at the source and in Earth's atmosphere and in the context of physics beyond the Standard Model. This proceeding highlights some of our latest results, from new constraints on neutrino interactions and oscillations to the latest measurements of the astrophysical neutrino flux and searches for their origins to future prospects with IceCube-Gen2.

Report
The paper reports the latest important results of the IceCube collaboration. The paper is clearly written and the IceCube results are well referenced. Only few and minor changes are requested. It is suitable for publication into SciPost Physics Proceedings.
Requested changes
1)Pag. 2 - In the introduction a typo is present: change mechnical into mechanical
2) Pag. 4 - Section 2.2. Change the sentence:
“ The latest result using 9.5 years of upgoing tracks is shown in green [14] and sees hints of softening above 1 PeV”
into
“The latest result using 9.5 years of upgoing tracks [14] is shown in green and sees hints of softening above 1 PeV”
3) In the Section 2.2 where the analyses to characterize the neutrino energy spectrum are described (pag 4 last line and page 5) is not clear that this analyses have been done for tracks in [14] and for cascade in [15]. Please report this more clearly and underline the differences or agreement between the results of the two papers.
4) Pag 7.
Change the sentence:
“ A modification in the cross section affects the arrival flux at IceCube, thus the data can be used constrain the cross section in turn”
into
“A modification in the cross section affects the arrival flux at IceCube, thus the data can be used to constrain the cross section in turn”
