| Challenge: | Existing evaluations of large language models (LLMs) with tools are limited and qualitative . existing evaluations have been limited and only focus on 14 tasks focusing on compound synthesis. |
| Approach: | They propose to develop an enhanced chemistry agent over ChemCrow to improve chemistry problem solving by integrating tools into LLMs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed agent does not consistently outperform its base LLMs without tools on specialized chemistry tasks and general chemistry questions. |
