Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide MoleculAR is a free, multiplatform augmented reality (AR) application that allows students to visualize and manipulate molecular structures in 3D, providing a more immersive and interactive learning experience. Using QR codes to generate 3D models of molecules, geometries, and orbitals, students can explore structures in real-time using their smartphones or tablets. Based on student survey responses, the app is effective at engaging students in both first- and second-year chemistry courses. Our goals for MoleculAR include providing a universally accessible tool for students to learn about molecular geometry and allowing for instructor adaptation and customization to make it as relevant as possible for individual courses. The skills students develop with the help of the app are highly transferable to other topics or areas, making it a valuable resource for educators in other fields. We welcome other educators to adopt the app to facilitate their teaching and improve the learning outcomes for their students.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
