seems like i was the only ICLR reviewer that bothered to declare LLM usage

This also shows that @typst.app is already a viable alternative to LaTeX for top conferences in ML!
Our paper on XAI + Automatic Differentiation got accepted at #NeurIPS2025. Can't wait to share the camera-ready soon! 🥳

If you are excited about 30x longer time steps in molecular dynamics using FlashMD, but are worried about it not being symplectic, Filippo has something new cooking that should make you even more excited. Head to the #arxiv for a preview arxiv.org/html/2508.01...

This, if true, is incredible. A long program in 2011 at IPAM that I attended practically wrote the book on machine learning in materials science, which is now AI. Not funding IPAM would be deeply destructive to US leadership in critical future technologies! Hard to fathom.

So kudos to 🧑‍🚀 Filippo and @marceldotsci.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/labc..., thanks to funders @erc.europa.eu @snf-fns.ch @cscsch.bsky.social and @nccr-marvel.bsky.social, and go to Filippo's talk if you are at #icml25, to see this nice mix of #compchem and #machinelearning!

📢 Running molecular dynamics with time steps up to 64fs for any atomistic system, from Al(110) to Ala2? Thanks to 🧑‍🚀 Filippo Bigi and Sanggyu Chong, with some help from Agustinus Kristiadis, this is not as crazy as it sounds. Let us briefly introduce FlashMD⚡ arxiv.org/html/2505.19...

cosmo has joined the universal FF club!
📢 PET-MAD has just landed! 📢 What if I told you that you can match & improve the accuracy of other "universal" #machinelearning potentials training on fewer than 100k atomic structures? And be *faster* with an unconstrained architecture that is conservative with tiny symmetry breaking? Sounds like 🧑‍🚀

Really happy to announce that I started working at D. E. Shaw Research this week. It's been an exciting first week at the company and I can't wait to start contributing to the very cool and ambitious research being done here!

You think Jacobian and Hessian matrices are prohibitively expensive to compute on your problem? Our latest preprint with @gdalle.bsky.social might change your mind!
