'The model checked its own plan, writing and running code to confirm, atom by atom, that each compound followed from its starting materials.' 'Our external collaborators rated the work at the level of an early graduate student.'
Anthropic says Claude planned a complex molecule synthesis route in about half an hour
AIAnthropic says Claude wrote a complete synthesis route for a complex molecule in about half an hour, working from one image of each of four molecules with code as its only tool and no internet access. The author quotes Anthropic saying the model checked its own plan by running code to confirm each compound followed from its starting materials, and that external collaborators rated the work at the level of an early graduate student.

Planning and executing the reactions to make a complex molecule (a “route”) is one of the hardest jobs in organic chemistry. From one image of each of four molecules, with no internet and with code as its only tool, Claude wrote a complete route in about half an hour.
