Anthropic says Claude drafted routes to four targets from unpublished syntheses

Anthropic said on November 9th that three Claude models each produced a complete synthetic route to four targets from unpublished syntheses, given only one image of each target and no internet, literature or reaction-database access, with local code as the only tool. Anthropic said each model wrote its routes in 26 to 84 minutes, and professors reviewed the plans blind; none of the routes has been tested in a lab. The blind use of unpublished targets addresses the recall problem that weakens many chemistry demonstrations, and a model that drafts credible routes from a single structure image could change how laboratories allocate graduate-student and postdoc hours.

Anthropic's blind design using unpublished targets addresses the recall problem that weakens many chemistry demonstrations.
