PolyJarvis is an LLM‑orchestrated platform that automates all‑atom molecular dynamics simulations of amorphous homopolymers. It generates validated run plans, constructs systems with Enhanced Monte Carlo, runs dynamics in LAMMPS, and extracts target properties, all while handling failures within a fixed decision budget. Validation on seven polymers—PE, aPS, sPVC, PLLA, PEG, PEEK, and PSU—showed that 13 of 19 property comparisons met experimental acceptance criteria, though some PCFF‑based systems exhibited density and glass‑transition discrepancies.

arXiv:2608. 07637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running molecular simulation campaigns require repeated continuation from saved states, provenance-aware progression, adaptive assessment, and occasional interpretation of workflow conditions that cannot be resolved safely by fixed rules.
HiPoly is a polymer-native AI framework that uses a three-level hierarchical graph architecture built on the G2RINS representation to process complete polymer descriptions. It encodes stochastic inter-monomer connectivity, composition, and molecular weight directly within its architecture, enabling end-to-end workflows from experimental data to property prediction, generative design, and physics-based validation. The framework achieves state-of-the-art accuracy for thermophysical properties of multi-component polymer systems and demonstrates generative design by discovering sustainable, PFAS-free alternatives with target surface-energy properties.

arXiv:2606. 19152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Identifying the lowest-energy surface-adsorbate configuration is critical for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, yet exhaustive exploration with ab initio calculations is computationally prohibitive.
The paper introduces PolyLatentFlow, a continuous‑time flow‑matching framework for polymer generation, and LlamaUni, a multimodal representation that fuses polymer sequences with 3D structural data. In unconditional generation, the combination yields the highest number of valid, novel candidates while preserving diversity, and in conditional settings it systematically shifts property distributions across a 200 °C target range. Across multi‑property tasks, the representation choice affects validity, training‑set replay, and structural proximity, with PolyLatentFlow + LlamaUni achieving the best balance of high validity, low replay, and high target hit yield.
Identifying the lowest-energy surface-adsorbate configuration is critical for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, yet exhaustive exploration with ab initio calculations is computationally prohibitive. Machine-learning force fields (MLFFs) accelerate structural relaxation but leave the search over the vast configurational space a major bottleneck, and open-loop large language model (LLM) agents lack a physics-grounded feedback mechanism to correct erroneous initial guesses.
MolDesignBench is a new benchmark for evaluating large language model (LLM)-based agents in scenario‑grounded molecular design. It contains 2,000 generation and optimization tasks that blend implicit narrative requirements with explicit property and functional‑group constraints, including infeasible cases, and require the use of 17 specialized chemistry tools. Experiments with leading LLMs show low success rates (best ~43%) and highlight failures in implicit‑constraint reasoning, infeasibility detection, and tool usage, underscoring the benchmark’s role in identifying key bottlenecks for future research.
The paper introduces a chemical language foundation model that uses a SMILES‑based polymer graph representation (CPG) to encode polymer architecture and connectivity, addressing gaps in existing line notations. The model achieves strong performance across 30 polymer property benchmarks and demonstrates robustness to structural representation perturbations, with even chemically invalid SMILES sometimes matching state‑of‑the‑art results. Control experiments and attention analyses confirm that CPG offers meaningful advantages while highlighting the model’s ability to interpolate SMILES sequence space in a way that aligns loosely with chemical and architectural space.
