Pretrained models for atomic simulations

Install

bash pip install orb-models pip install "pynanoflann@git+https://github.com/dwastberg/pynanoflann#egg=af434039ae14bedcbb838a7808924d6689274168", Pynanoflann is not available on PyPI, so you must install it from the git repository.

Orb models are expected to work on MacOS and Linux. Windows support is not guaranteed.

Updates

Oct 2024: We have released a new version of the models, orb-v2. This version has 2 major changes: - v2 models use a smoothed cosine distance cutoff for the attention mechanism. This is a more physically motivated cutoff that is better suited for MPNNs. - The force predictions now have net zero forces, meaning they are much more stable for MD simulations. - The models are generally more accurate (Increase in 2-3% on the matbench discovery dataset).

These models are substantially better for all use cases, so we have removed the v1 models from the new orb-models package. To load the v1 models, please install the v0.3.2 version of orb-models.

Sept 2024: v1 models released - state of the art performance on the matbench discovery dataset.

Pretrained models

We provide several pretrained models that can be used to calculate energies, forces & stresses of atomic systems. All models are provided in the orb_models.forcefield.pretrained module.

• orb-v2 - trained on MPTraj + Alexandria.
• orb-mptraj-only-v2 - trained on the MPTraj dataset only to reproduce our second Matbench Discovery result. We do not recommend using this model for general use.
• orb-d3-v2 - trained on MPTraj + Alexandria with integrated D3 corrections. In general, we recommend using this model, particularly for systems where dispersion interactions are important. This model was trained to predict D3-corrected targets and hence is the same speed as orb-v2. Incorporating D3 into the model like this is substantially faster than using analytical D3 corrections.
• orb-d3-{sm,xs}-v2 - Smaller versions of orb-d3-v2. The sm model has 10 layers, whilst the xs model has 5 layers.

For more information on the models, please see the MODELS.md file.

Usage

Note: These examples are designed to run on the main branch of orb-models. If you are using a pip installed version of orb-models, you may want to look at the corresponding README.md from that tag.

Direct usage

```python

import ase from ase.build import bulk

from orbmodels.forcefield import atomicsystem, pretrained from orbmodels.forcefield.base import batchgraphs

device = "cpu" # or device="cuda" orbff = pretrained.orbv2(device=device) atoms = bulk('Cu', 'fcc', a=3.58, cubic=True) graph = atomicsystem.aseatomstoatomgraphs(atoms, device=device)

Optionally, batch graphs for faster inference

graph = batch_graphs([graph, graph, ...])

result = orbff.predict(graph)

Convert to ASE atoms (unbatches the results and transfers to cpu if necessary)

atoms = atomicsystem.atomgraphstoaseatoms( graph, energy=result["graphpred"], forces=result["nodepred"], stress=result["stresspred"] ) ```

Usage with ASE calculator

```python import ase from ase.build import bulk

from orbmodels.forcefield import pretrained from orbmodels.forcefield.calculator import ORBCalculator

device="cpu" # or device="cuda" orbff = pretrained.orbv2(device=device) # or choose another model using ORBPRETRAINED_MODELSmodel_name calc = ORBCalculator(orbff, device=device) atoms = bulk('Cu', 'fcc', a=3.58, cubic=True)

atoms.setcalculator(calc) atoms.getpotential_energy() ```

You can use this calculator with any ASE calculator-compatible code. For example, you can use it to perform a geometry optimization:

```python from ase.optimize import BFGS

Rattle the atoms to get them out of the minimum energy configuration

atoms.rattle(0.5) print("Rattled Energy:", atoms.getpotentialenergy())

calc = ORBCalculator(orbff, device="cpu") # or device="cuda" dyn = BFGS(atoms) dyn.run(fmax=0.01) print("Optimized Energy:", atoms.getpotentialenergy()) ```

Finetuning

You can finetune the model using your custom dataset. The dataset should be an ASE sqlite database. python python finetune.py --dataset=<dataset_name> --data_path=<your_data_path> After the model is finetuned, checkpoints will, by default, be saved to the ckpts folder in the directory you ran the finetuning script from.

You can use the new model and load the checkpoint by: ```python from orb_models.forcefield import pretrained

model = pretrained.orbv2(weightspath=) ```

⚠ Caveats

Our finetuning script is designed for simplicity and advanced users may wish to develop it further. Please be aware that: - The script assumes that your ASE database rows contain energy, forces, and stress data. To train on molecular data without stress, you will need to edit the code. - Early stopping is not implemented. However, you can use the command line argument save_every_x_epochs (default is 5), so "retrospective" early stopping can be applied by selecting a suitable checkpoint. - The learning rate schedule is hardcoded to be torch.optim.lr_scheduler.OneCycleLR with pct_start=0.05. The max_lr/min_lr will be 10x greater/smaller than the lr specified via the command line. To get the best performance, you may wish to try other schedulers. - The defaults of --num_steps=100 and --max_epochs=50 are small. This may be suitable for very small finetuning datasets (e.g. 100s of systems), but you will likely want to increase the number of steps for larger datasets (e.g. 1000s of datapoints). - The script only tracks a limited set of metrics (energy/force/stress MAEs) which may be insufficient for some downstream use-cases. For instance, if you wish to finetune a model for Molecular Dynamics simulations, we have found (anecdotally) that models that are just on the cusp of overfitting to force MAEs can be substantially worse for simulations. Ideally, more robust "rollout" metrics would be included in the finetuning training loop. In lieu of this, we recommend more aggressive early-stopping i.e. using models several epochs prior to any sign of overfitting.
