Coupled-cluster (CC) theory is often considered the gold standard of quantum chemistry, but its high computational cost limits routine access to accurate energies, forces and response properties. While the right-hand T-amplitudes determine the correlated wavefunction, many practically important observables additionally require the left-hand Λ-amplitudes. We introduce MōLe-Λ, an extension of Molecular Orbital Learning (MōLe) that predicts the full ground-state coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) response state by jointly learning right-hand amplitudes (T_1,T_2) and left-hand amplitudes (Λ_1,Λ_2) from localized Hartree--Fock molecular orbitals. Architecturally, MōLe-Λ extends MōLe with Λ_1 and Λ_2 readouts that mirror the symmetry constraints of the T_1 and T_2 heads, while preserving the original equivariant orbital encoder, odd sign-equivariant decoding, locality and size-extensivity. The resulting model yields accurate CC-quality energies and forces, while simultaneously recovering dipoles, quadrupoles, polarizabilities, the electron density, and 2-electron observables such as the pair density. We show that MōLe-Λ further extends the speed advantage of MōLe over full CCSD while substantially expanding the accessible properties, providing a route to wavefunction-level surrogate models for correlated quantum chemistry.
