Claude verified its synthesis routes atom-by-atom with self-written code
claudeai · x · 2026-11-10
Claude self-checked its synthesis plans by writing and running code to confirm, atom by atom, that each compound followed from its starting materials. It also replaced reactions that could damage the molecule and flagged the steps most likely to fail — a key part of the verification mechanism behind its chemistry results.
