Statement on Code and Agent Technology

Acknowledgment

The development of the PARAMUS platform was profoundly inspired by early pioneering work in chemistry agent systems. I extend my sincere gratitude to Andrew D. White, Philippe Schwaller, and their collaborators for releasing the first openly accessible agent codebases—particularly within the ChemCrow project. These foundational efforts offered critical conceptual and architectural insights that significantly influenced the initial design and direction of PARAMUS.

While PARAMUS no longer integrates external agent system code, we continue to acknowledge and respect these seminal contributions.

Third-Party & Open-Source Libraries Used

PARAMUS employs two curated chemical safety datasets to support compound risk assessment:

• Clintox dataset from DeepChem, for classification by clinical toxicity and FDA approval status.
• OPCW/Australia Group–based dataset, originally curated by ChemCrow, for safety screening.

We do utilize widely recognized open-source libraries – such as Dash – to power specific functionalities, uphold best practices, and enhance the overall reliability of our platform. See details here.
