Augmenting large language models with chemistry tools

Andres M Bran, Sam Cox, Oliver Schilter et al.

What this work does

A ReAct-style LLM invokes specialized chemistry/search/computation tools, with cloud-connected synthesis and a human-query tool.

Connection to discovery

Illustrates the difference between a capable scientific tool harness and a policy trained to choose informative experiments.

Evidence

Inspected chemical-use-case expert evaluations, reported RoboRXN synthesis execution and the tool interface descriptions.

Scope and limitations

Demonstrating synthesis of known molecules is not automatically new knowledge. Proprietary services, human interaction and expert judgment constrain reproducibility.
