Andrew CurranXAnthropic says Claude planned a complex molecule synthesis route in about half an hourAIAnthropic 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. The image shows the GDGT-4 target and steps from the route, and the source notes the route has not yet been tested in a lab.

It used one image of each molecule, no internet access, and code as its only tool. The image shows the GDGT-4 target and part of the planned route, which the post says has not yet been tested in a lab.
