SpaceChem Bench: Moustachium 602

Inputs: α Australium (Av), β Australium (Av). Output: ψ Moustachium 602 (Av2) ×10. Features: Bonders (4).

In SpaceChem Bench, 16 LLMs each had one attempt at this SpaceChem puzzle, with 10 minutes to build a working solution and keep optimizing it, without seeing the community archive. 13 of 16 models solved it. No model found a new Pareto-frontier point beyond the frozen community archive.
