Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use Orb-v3 for screened research workloads with reference checks; evaluate OrbMol-v2 separately.

Why
Independent tests support useful static predictions, while domain sensitivity and trajectory errors limit unattended simulation reliability.
Next
Compare the exact checkpoint against DFT on representative structures, barriers and trajectories; test a conservative variant when energy consistency matters.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Accuracy depends on chemistry, temperature and simulation task.
  • Static accuracy can understate accumulated trajectory errors.
  • OrbMol-v2 requires separate validation for intended molecular workloads.
  • Checkpoint selection and energy conservation require explicit testing.
