In this talk I will present recent highlights in ab initio computations of nuclei using coupled‐cluster theory with interactions and currents from chiral effective field theory. The topics I will discuss include: (i) accurate nuclear binding energies and radii of light and medium mass nuclei from a chiral interaction, (ii) the neutral- and weak-charge distributions and electric dipole polarizability of ⁴⁸Ca, quantities that are currently targeted by precision measurements worldwide, and (iii) the microscopic origins of the quenching of the axial vector coupling g_A.
