XtalPi open-sources LCMS2Yield, an AI model that measures reaction yields without pure standards

It predicts UV correction factors from a molecule's structure. XtalPi reports a 4.74% mean yield error across 178 reactions, a vendor figure, and results depend on the compounds and analytical conditions.

For process chemists: estimate yields from LC-UV runs without making a pure reference sample first.

Anatomy is an open-source agent skill that draws machines in 3D

Describe a machine in one line and the skill has Claude build an interactive isometric wireframe you can rotate and inspect, with WebGL effects for fire, water and plasma and individual parts that move. It installs as an agent skill and is open source.

For sales and training teams: a quick way to mock up how a piece of equipment works for a pitch or onboarding. The post shows nothing about engineering accuracy, so treat it as illustration, not a drawing; for ops, upstream and chemical engineers the fit is a stretch.

TwinCAT-XAE-MCP lets an AI agent drive Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 engineering

Through the TE1000 Automation Interface it can walk the System Manager tree, author PLC code, configure EtherCAT IO, link variables, build and deploy, with runtime actions confirmation-gated and off by default.

For controls: use an MCP client beside a running XAE Shell to draft POUs and IO maps the way an engineer would in the GUI, without giving the agent unsupervised download rights.
