URSA Single-Step Retrosynthesis - Max ChemCensor: leaderboard

Metric: Average over the 100 URSA-expert-2026 novel targets of the highest ChemCensor score (0 to 5) among the model's predicted reactant sets for the target (15 independent samples per target, five-shot prompts drawn from USPTO-full training reactions, no tools, reasoning enabled at the default budget for models that support it; ChemCensor 0.5.2 scores each reaction from 0 (no precedent) to 5 by the substructural context of its reaction centre and functional groups found in USPTO-full precedents); higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around April 2027. 20 models tracked.
