arXiv:2607. 03007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in molecular large language models have led to strong performance on molecular understanding and generation tasks, yet these gains often come without reliable structural grounding.
By Wenda Wang, Jinjia Feng, Zhewei Wei
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.
arXiv:2605. 15354v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite the success of foundation models in language and vision, molecular graph generation still lacks a unified framework for heterogeneous design tasks with reliable controllability.

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.

arXiv:2607. 18144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structure-based drug design (SBDD) leverages the 3D structure of protein targets, often complemented by other spatial constraints, to generate candidate binding molecules.

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.

arXiv:2605. 16823v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models succeed by combining large-scale pretraining with meaningful discrete tokens.
