BranchIP: Learning Adaptive Equivariant Computation for Interatomic Potentials

BranchIP introduces a single-model framework that learns adaptive tensor product computation for equivariant machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs). Using a novel distillation loss, it achieves up to 2.4× speed‑up and 2.6× memory reduction across model sizes while preserving physical fidelity. The adaptive computation also offers interpretability by indicating which interactions require deeper processing and how depth correlates with chemical complexity and dynamics.

El Agente Potente: High-Throughput Agentic Atomistic Simulations

El Agente Potente is an agentic system that integrates typed execution graphs and a coding mode to facilitate machine‑learning interatomic potential (MLIP) driven atomistic simulations. Typed execution graphs offer structured, provenance‑aware workflows where large language models handle planning and routing while deterministic Python code performs scientific computation and validation. The coding agent builds customized workflows for tasks needing procedural flexibility, invoking existing Potente functions for supported calculations. The system is demonstrated across materials discovery, energy‑landscape exploration, adsorption, and catalytic reaction workflows, with benchmarks on reproducibility and LLM token cost.

Distilling latent electrostatics from foundation machine learning interatomic potentials

arXiv:2606. 15001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have enabled atomistic simulations across broad regions of chemical and materials space, but many remain computationally expensive and lack explicit electrostatics, limiting their use for systems governed by long-range interactions and electrical response.
