FREA is a new benchmark containing 751 chemical reactions labeled by expert chemists to assess AI-generated reaction feasibility. It tests how well AI verifiers align with human experts across diverse reaction proposals.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

As generative models and AI agents propose chemical reactions at a scale beyond expert review, feasibility verifiers decide which proposals enter synthesis planning. But do their decisions agree with chemists across different kinds of candidates? We introduce FREA, a benchmark of 751 reactions labeled by expert...

As AI agents generate chemical reactions at scale, reliable feasibility verification is crucial to ensure only viable reactions proceed to synthesis planning. FREA provides a standardized way to evaluate and improve these AI verifiers against expert judgment.
