Yesterday I posted an incorrect comparison. I accidentally copied the TS3 structure into TS1 for UMA and Orb-V3, so the MLIP results for TS1 were wrong. Really sorry about that misleading! In the next post I will share IRC of DFT calculation and wB97M-V/def2-TZVPD results.

Sorry this post is incorrect. I accidentally copied the TS3 structure into TS1. The corrected results should be:

THIS POST is wrong: I wrongly copied the TS3 structure into TS1 in this post. The corrected results profile should be

Oh, sorry, I made a mistake. I copied the TS3 structure into TS1. The corrected figure should be. As for wB97M-V/def2-TZVPD, its relative energy of TS1 is very close to M06-2X/def2-TZVPP (within <0.1 kcal/mol). I will share the notebook, IRC and data very soon.

A failure case for deep-learning potential: the TS1 geometry is so weird that UMA and Orb-v3 underestimate the barrier by ~15 kcal/mol, likely because it far from the training set. Handling chemical reactions is extremely hard for general deep learning models.

UMA (small model) is very close to DFT M06-2X. Maybe I can deploy nanoreactors using UMA model for coarse reaction space sampling. This is a reactive trajectory of a compound with 24 Carbon atoms.

I'd like to name it as "QM/MM".

Cunning ChatGPT bypassing 3D depth analysis, and calling the rdkit function to generate the coordinate of an Ibuprofen. Grok3 just failed this test and misrecognized it as glucose, as expected.

Boltz2 can be run on a $430 RTX5060 Ti (16G) card, although it's much slower than ~$30,000 H100 (RTX 5060 Ti: 1min 47s, H100: 18s), but it doesn't matter, because the cold-start time is about 1 minute for both cards.

This is creepy, but lots of fun. Gemini Veo has a perception of spatial depth and can rotate the molecules.

UMA (uma-sm) combined with NEB successfully locates the transition state and path for a Ni-catalyzed reaction. UMA prediction lies between two DFT functional, and the transition state closely matches the result from a literature: www.nature.com/articles/nat...

The relationship between Ki and IC₅₀ is described by the Cheng–Prusoff equation. And William L. Jorgensen et al. did an effective calculation for predicting potency in his paper during pandemic.

Surprisingly, the UMA (by meta) model captures the bond-breaking process in the carbon nanotube stretching test, similar to GFN2-xTB. I hadn't expected deep learning models to extrapolate over bond lengths.

It's a great time to participate in the horseshoe crab protection activity (helped with counting and tagging). I had only heard stories about the blue blood legend in evolution before, but this time I saw it with my own eyes.

Seeking Image-to-SMILES conversion for local tiny device deployment. Deep learning offers accuracy but is too heavy. Are there lightweight alternatives without deep learning? Mathpix (SaaS) appears best, but closed-source and need internet.
