arXiv:2608. 06582v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow-based generative models can efficiently produce candidate structures for crystal structure prediction (CSP), but their pretrained objectives do not directly optimize downstream target recovery.

arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.

Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming materials design by enabling de novo exploration of immense chemical spaces. Yet a large proportion of AI-generated compositions remain implausible, violating established chemical principles, which limits the reliability and interpretability of generative materials design.
