Overview#

MatterSim is an advanced deep learning model designed to simulate the properties of materials across a wide range of elements, temperatures, and pressures. The model leverages state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to deliver high accuracy and efficiency in atomistic simulations, making it a valuable tool for researchers in the field of materials science.

MatterSim is still in active development, and newer models may be released in appropriate time. Please stay tuned for updates.

Pre-trained Models#

We currently offer two pre-trained MatterSim-v1 models based on the M3GNet architecture

  1. MatterSim-v1.0.0-1M: A mini version of the model that is faster to run.

  2. MatterSim-v1.0.0-5M: A larger version of the model that is more accurate.

These models have been trained using the data generated through the workflows introduced in the MatterSim manuscript, which provides an in-depth explanation of the methodologies underlying the MatterSim model.

More advanced and fully-supported pretrained versions of MatterSim, and additional materials capabilities are available in Azure Quantum Elements.
