Anthropic says external collaborators rate Claude's molecule syntheses at early grad student level

claudeai · x · 2026-11-10

Anthropic shared external collaborators' assessments of Claude's chemistry work: using unpublished syntheses from the labs of Noah Burns (Stanford), Timothy Newhouse (Yale), and Sarah Reisman (Caltech), Claude produced routes for three of four molecules (none yet tested in a lab). Collaborators rated the work at the level of an early graduate student.
