In the rapidly changing realm of artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are increasingly being explored for their potential to aid and enhance the field of molecular research. This study explores the performance of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 in molecular research, particularly in generating and optimizing molecular structures. The results highlight GPT-4s strengths in certain areas of molecular optimization, while also revealing challenges in accurately generating complex molecules. The findings underscore the necessity for integrating these models with domain-specific tools to enhance their application in scientific research, particularly in molecular studies. The study offers insights into the potential of LLMs for advancing molecular research, paving the way for future developments in this rapidly evolving field.
