EP-Flow introduces a new framework for predicting disordered crystal structures without requiring site-level disorder annotations. It uses an Occupancy Distribution Matrix (ODM) to represent continuous site-by-species occupancies and enforces constraints through a transportation polytope. The method jointly generates occupancies, fractional coordinates, and lattice parameters, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on formula‑conditioned disordered CSP benchmarks and recovering chemically meaningful local disorder patterns.

The study benchmarks 12 deep generative crystal structure prediction models against the template-based TCSP 2.0 on 180 test structures, finding that template retrieval achieves the highest top‑1 success (68.3%). Most generative predictions overlap with template substitutions, and removing entire stoichiometric prototype families from training reduces accuracy by 50‑78%, indicating strong prototype dependence. Only a small subset of predictions remain after such removal, suggesting limited genuine de‑novo capability.
