Researchers have developed a new framework called the Identity-Blinded Reasoning Diagnostic to evaluate the true reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in chemical prediction tasks. This framework hides the identity of the target chemical, instead defining it through a source entity and a structural edit operation. This approach aims to prevent models from relying on memorization or contextual cues related to the target's identity. Experiments across six tasks, including odor prediction and retrosynthesis, revealed that while model performance is influenced by source-target property consistency, some models exhibit systematic shifts in predictions based on substituted source entity labels, indicating a potential lack of genuine structure-property reasoning.
