We wouldn't be @labcosmo.bsky.social if we didn't want you to go break it, so head to atomistic-cookbook.org/examples/fla... for a crash-course 🧑‍🍳📖 recipe, but not before reading the warnings arxiv.org/html/2505.19.... Have fun! #compchem #machinelearning #md @nccr-marvel.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu

If you do, the rewards can be very impressive: you can run solvated alanine dipeptide and observe superionic behavior in LiPS with 16fs time step, and watch the Al(110) surface pre-melt in strides of 64fs. And all with the same universal model, no fine-tuning needed!

Much as for direct force prediction [ arxiv.org/html/2412.11... ] you better know what you are doing: you've no guarantee of energy conservation, or of equipartition, so you should know your thermostats VERY well. Caveat emptor.

Filippo's idea was to use the heavy-duty PET-MAD model [ arxiv.org/html/2503.14... ] to generate a bunch of trajectories of wildly different compounds and use a PET-like architecture to learn (q',p') from (q,p), and and to think A LOT about the many things that could possibly go wrong.

There are reports as early as 2021 [cf. arxiv.org/abs/2111.15176 ] of using neural nets to predict a MD trajectory in large strides, but these were usually limited to a single system in a given thermodynamic state point. Nice, but not life-changing.

If you don't want to read, but want to cook, guess what? The 🧑‍🍳📖 #atomistic-cookbook has you covered. Head to atomistic-cookbook.org/examples/lea... to see how to use this, as simple as `mtt train mymodel.yaml`.

If you don't have time for the 20-pages appendix, the TL;DR is that approximating tensors is harder than the vector case, but can be made as simple as possible using angular momentum theory. The practical implementation we propose is not as rigorous, but works well and is very fast in practice.

You can use these safely in MD, by multiple time stepping (a '90s classic: doi.org/10.1063/1.46...) so you get reliable conservative trajectories, for any material, twice as fast! Let us know if it works for you, and even more importantly, if it doesn't! 👉 atomistic-cookbook.org/examples/pet...

Should be super-easy to adapt to whatever tensor you're trying to learn (and to extend to more sophisticated models than symmetry-adapted regression). Let us know what you cook with it 😋!

In particular, this recipe relies on metatensor.github.io/featomic to compute the features, and the docs.metatensor.org/latest/torch... backend of #metatensor to export a self-contained ASE-compatible calculator. Easy to use, fast, and accurate.
