ChemReporter: A Framework for Curating and Exporting Large-Scale Chemical Datasets for MLIP Training

Training set quality and diversity are key determinants of the reliability of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), yet using massive datasets in full is often impractical and redundant, making intelligent data selection essential. A major bottleneck, however, is the lack of infrastructure for uniformly accessing, curating, and subsampling heterogeneous large-scale chemical datasets, which differ widely in structure, metadata, and file format. We address this gap with ChemReporter, a modular, method-agnostic framework that converts arbitrary molecular and materials datasets into a unified, queryable representation and exports the results directly into MLIP-ready training data. ChemReporter operates in three decoupled stages: processing, which parses raw datasets into a partitioned Apache Parquet repository enriched with structural, physical, and chemical metadata; querying, which filters and samples this repository via a CLI or Python API using arbitrary selection criteria, from simple physical constraints to custom, user-defined strategies; and exporting, which streams the selected subset into an HDF5 file ready for direct use in modern MLIP training frameworks. Throughout this process, every exported data point remains traceable to its original source entry, and dataset exports can be reliably reproduced given the same configuration and query database version. Because data is stored in a queryable, disk-backed format, ChemReporter can process datasets far larger than available memory, allowing it to scale to billion-structure datasets on standard compute infrastructure. ChemReporter is available on GitHub and PyPI under the Apache License 2.0.

Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials: Advancing Open-Source Software for Efficient and Scalable Molecular Simulation

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable atomistic simulations with near ab initio accuracy at significantly reduced computational cost, but their broader adoption is often limited by fragmented tooling, limited scalability, and inflexible software design. We present mlip v2, a new generation of the mlip library that advances efficient and scalable molecular simulation through a unified and extensible framework. The new release features a targeted API redesign with improved modularity and control, enabling flexible customization of training, data processing, and simulation workflows. It further integrates a new high-performance backend for equivariant operations, e3j, significantly accelerating model inference and simulations. In addition, the framework introduces a range of entirely new capabilities, including the eSEN architecture with a Mixture-of-Experts formulation for scalable training on large and diverse datasets, improved handling of electrostatics through more physically grounded charge modeling and long-range interaction treatment, and advanced simulation features such as NPT ensembles and nudged elastic band methods. Together, these extensions significantly broaden the scope of MLIP applications, enabling efficient modeling of complex, reactive, and out-of-equilibrium systems, and bridging the gap between ML research and practical molecular simulation applications. The library is available on GitHub and on PyPI under the Apache license 2.0.

MLIPAudit: A benchmarking tool for Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials

Machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) promise to significantly advance atomistic simulations by delivering quantum-level accuracy for large molecular systems at a fraction of the computational cost of traditional electronic structure methods. While model hubs and categorisation efforts have emerged in recent years, it remains difficult to consistently discover, compare, and apply these models across diverse scenarios. The field still lacks a standardised and comprehensive framework for evaluating MLIP performance. We introduce MLIPAudit, an open, curated and modular benchmarking suite designed to assess the accuracy of MLIP models across a variety of application tasks. MLIPAudit offers a diverse collection of benchmark systems, including small organic compounds, molecular liquids, proteins and flexible peptides, along with pre-computed results for a range of pre-trained and published models. MLIPAudit also provides tools for users to evaluate their models using the same standardised pipeline. A continuously updated leaderboard tracks performance across benchmarks, enabling direct comparison on downstream tasks. By providing a unified, transparent reference framework for model validation and comparison, MLIPAudit aims to foster reproducibility, transparency, and community-driven progress in the development of MLIPs for complex molecular systems. In order to illustrate the use of the library, we present some benchmarks run on a series of internal models, along with publicly available ones (UMA-Small, MACE-OFF, MACE-MP). The library is available on GitHub at https://github.com/instadeepai/mlipaudit, on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/mlipaudit/ under the Apache License 2.0, and the leaderboard can be accessed on HuggingFace at https://huggingface.co/spaces/InstaDeepAI/mlipaudit-leaderboard.

Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials: library for efficient training, model development and simulation of molecular systems

Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials (MLIP) are a novel in silico approach for molecular property prediction, creating an alternative to disrupt the accuracy/speed trade-off of empirical force fields and density functional theory (DFT). In this white paper, we present our MLIP library which was created with two core aims: (1) provide to industry experts without machine learning background a user-friendly and computationally efficient set of tools to experiment with MLIP models, (2) provide machine learning developers a framework to develop novel approaches fully integrated with molecular dynamics tools. The library includes in this release three model architectures (MACE, NequIP, and ViSNet), and two molecular dynamics (MD) wrappers (ASE, and JAX-MD), along with a set of pre-trained organics models. The seamless integration with JAX-MD, in particular, facilitates highly efficient MD simulations, bringing MLIP models significantly closer to industrial application. The library is available on GitHub and on PyPI under the Apache license 2.0.
