AMS2024 Release notes

The SCM team proudly announces AMS2024!
We hope you enjoy the powerful new functionality: on-the-fly machine learning potentials, reaction discovery, and Quantum ESPRESSO as an AMS engine.

Train your own machine learning potential

  • Train custom M3GNet ML potentials with ParAMS
    • Fine-tune the universal M3GNet potential for your chemistry
    • Committee models for uncertainty estimation
  • Simple active learning workflow
    • Set up any MD simulation and reference engine
    • Generate training data and retrain the model on-the-fly
  • AIMNet2: new pre-trained ML model suitable for molecules and ions
    • Non-metallic elements
    • Very good for generating or ranking conformers

Quantum ESPRESSO as an AMS engine

  • Use the plane-wave DFT program Quantum ESPRESSO as an AMS engine to
    • explore the potential energy surface with the AMS Driver, or
    • train ML potentials, ReaxFF, or DFTB with ParAMS
  • New reliable pseudopotential libraries
    • Standard Solid-State Pseudopotentials (SSSP) enabled by default
  • Standalone QE no longer supported in AMSinput
