Its always nice to meet old (and a lot of new!) friends! Last week I talked at @dcl-ethz.bsky.social for their Data+ML lunch about our latest research (arxiv.org/abs/2503.08537) Thank you so much @spschmid.bsky.social and @valencekjell.com for the invitation, first time for me at @ethz.ch 🤩

New preprint from the Schwaller group! We investigate the chemical reasoning of LLMs on synthesis routes (up to 26 steps) and reaction mechanisms. Claude 3.7 performs impressively well. - LLMs for direct outcome prediction ❌ - Search algorithms + LLMs 🤩 Congrats to the team! 🙌 #chemsky ⬇️

LLMs are pretty bad at writing molecules, but quite good at analyzing mols and reactions! In our new work we use LLMs+search in chemical tasks, unlocking steerable synth. planning and mechanism prediction 🌟 Chehck out the paper 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2503.08537 1/8
