What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Apache-2.0, peer-reviewed, dramatically faster/cheaper than equivariant alternatives at competitive accuracy — the speed/memory Pareto gains are real, but the non-conservative trap means the model variant must be matched to the workflow.
Next
Default to the conservative checkpoint for MD and geometry optimization; reserve the direct variant for large-scale single-point/screening where its throughput pays off, and validate energy conservation on a representative system first.
