Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Peer-reviewed (Communications Chemistry, July 2025) with credible SOTA classification/regression and reaction-yield numbers and a permissive license, but early version, thin in-repo benchmarks, and a fine-tune-plus-head workflow mean it warrants a scoped pilot, not blind adoption.
Next
Benchmark the Apache-2.0 SMI-TED-289M checkpoint against an in-house baseline on your own MoleculeNet-style task before committing to the multi-modal fusion stack.
