AGN dust tori can form tens of millions of planetesimals from Earth to super-Jupiter masses via streaming instability, with continued growth to stellar masses through pebble and gas accretion.

ALMA observations of 100 Ophiuchus discs show substructures linked to giant planet formation are common in discs above 10 Earth masses of dust and increase from Class I to Class II stages.
Halos in Elias 2-24, IM Lup, and DM Tau hold 20-30% of total dust mass with cm-sized grains, helping resolve the disk mass-budget problem even though drift and growth timescales are shorter than disk ages.
