arXiv:2607. 13115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Small language models (SLMs) have shown promise for zero-shot molecular property prediction from SMILES strings, yet they often suffer from structural blindness because sequence representations under-specify key graph-topological cues.

Large language models (LLMs) are widely applied across chemical tasks, such as molecular property prediction, which underpins drug discovery. Molecular LLMs represent a molecule through several modalities, notably a 1D SMILES sequence or a 2D molecular graph.

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.
arXiv:2607. 01800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently shown promise in molecular discovery, yet a gap remains between their probabilistic nature over discrete sequential tokens and the rigid topological constraints of chemical space.

arXiv:2606. 05693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for molecular property prediction, but their ability to reason over chemical structures remains limited, as molecular representations such as SMILES differ substantially from the natural language on which LLMs are primarily trained.
