Learning Mechanistic Reasoning for Chemical Reactions with Large Language Models
Reaction mechanisms consist of the step-by-step sequences of elementary reactions that explain chemical transformations. Learning the mechanism logic is therefore essential for enhancing the fundamental chemical intelligence of large language models (LLMs). The stepwise deduction of reaction mechanism aligns naturally with the reasoning paradigms of reasoning LLMs. However, current chemical LLMs primarily emphasize coarse-grained name reactions for product prediction and retrosynthesis, often leading to physical inconsistencies and hallucinations. In contrast, specialized small-scale generativ
Localize, Then Reason: Visual Latent Structural Reasoning for Molecular Properties and Edits
Local chemical perception and property reasoning are both essential for understanding how molecular structure determines properties. Current LLM-based chemical reasoning methods either receive SMILES/molecular images together with descriptions of local motifs, or reason directly from molecular images. Neither approach enables the model to focus on chemically meaningful regions before reasoning. To address this gap, we propose Visual Latent Structural Reasoning (VLSR), an end-to-end framework that jointly learns localization and reasoning from molecular images. Central to our approach is a loca
SciForge: An AI-Native, Multimodal Workbench for Scientific Discovery
Scientific work increasingly spans heterogeneous artifacts -- papers, code, datasets, scientific file formats, model outputs, figures, manuscripts, and team decisions -- yet general-purpose AI assistants rarely preserve these objects as a coherent, auditable research state. We present SciForge, a multimodal research-native AI workbench that reserves the graphical interface for human judgment while search, parsing, model routing, workflow execution, plotting, writing, and presentation generation run as modular agent-accessible services. SciForge is built around five pillars: (i) \emph{goal-scop
