Near-autonomous AI improves challenging Chan-Lam coupling for sulfonamides

OpenAI and Molecule.one connected GPT-5.4 to an autonomous chemistry lab to improve Chan–Lam coupling of primary sulfonamides. Across 10,080 reactions, the system identified TEMPO as an effective additive, raising yields significantly. Human chemists validated results at bench scale, confirming the AI-driven finding holds in practical workflows.

MolmoMotion: Language-guided 3D motion forecasting from video

MolmoMotion predicts future 3D point trajectories from a single video frame, language instruction, and query points, using a class-agnostic, view-stable representation. It outperforms existing forecasting methods on a new benchmark, accelerates robot policy learning (76.3% vs 56% pick-and-place success), and improves video generation motion quality. The model, 1.16M-video dataset, and benchmark are openly released.

Cohere Releases North Mini Code: 30B MoE Model for Agentic Coding

Cohere's North Mini Code is a 30B MoE model optimized for agentic coding, featuring a novel two-stage SFT and asynchronous RLVR pipeline. It achieves 33.4 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Index, outperforming models like Qwen3.5 and Gemma 4. The technical report details cross-harness training that yields free improvements (e.g., 61.0% pass@1 on SWE-Bench with mini-SWE-agent) and online RL that cuts invalid tool calls by rewarding only valid outputs.

How Anthropic’s economists are tracking AI’s real economic impact with data

Anthropic’s Economic Research team provides the missing empirical foundation for debates about AI and the economy. The flagship Economic Index measures how Claude is actually used across sectors, and studies like the 81,000-person survey and the 100,000-conversation productivity analysis give concrete data on adoption, labor displacement, and task efficiency.
