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 🌟. 1/.@TheoNeukomm @d_armstr @ZJoncev @pschwllr .

Many other problems in chemistry can be tackled like this! From the fundamental stuff to larger scales, LLMs might already be enough for searching thru complex chemical spaces. Kudos to all the authors @TheoNeukomm @d_armstr @ZJoncev @pschwllr from @SchwallerGroup @EPFL_en !.

We also tackled mechanism determination, with also great results from @TheoNeukomm! LLMs are also quite good at guiding search for mechanisms. The cooler thing is that, as with synthesis, arbitrary inputs can be given in, to guide the search, all in words!

It is quite impresive to see some of the responses - like Claude-3.7's analysis of some historical routes for strychnine!.@ZJoncev certified 👌

We made a small benchmark for this task **steerable synthesis planning**, with several targets and prompts, and the results are quite impresive!. Larger models are quite good at the task 🚀, with newer versions improving rapidly. A small model like gpt-4o-mini is not as good tho

In synthesis planning, we input mol. and the output are some routes, with no restrictions. But what if I want to specify details? - see img.In our work, users can specify a query, and during search the LLM selects only aligned solutions - working as a zero-shot value function!

Many tasks in chemistry can be tackled through search, like synthesis planning, mechanism determination, molecular design, etc. Current methods rely on designed or learned value functions, but what if LLMs already know all of this? and how can we exploit it?.
