New paper alert: React-OT: Optimal Transport for Generating Transition State in Chemical Reactions ( https://t.co/RwXUSEISmq). React-OT formulates TS search as a transport problem, approaching chemical accuracy while taking only 0.5 seconds in inference on a single GPU. #compchem

🔥Tremendous progress in applying AI to MOFs has emerged in just a few years. Agents can now propose and even help synthesize new materials. 📄Our new perspective preprint asks: where are we today, what challenges remain, and what promises lie ahead for AI-designed MOFs🌍⚡

I'll be sitting down for a chat with Chenru Duan, founder of @DeepPrinciple this afternoon. We'll be talking about topics including how to benchmark LLMs for scientific tasks and journey from academia to startup. Anything you'd like to hear about?

🔥 Hot off the press in Advanced Science! We pit 7 ML interatomic potentials against React-OT, a diffusion model, and show generative AI makes TS search faster, cheaper, smarter. 🚀 Why it matters👇 • Again, a low MAE on energy and force is not all we need for locating

Bye Qwen3-235B-A22B, hello Qwen3-235B-A22B-2507! After talking with the community and thinking it through, we decided to stop using hybrid thinking mode. Instead, we’ll train Instruct and Thinking models separately so we can get the best quality possible. Today, we’re releasing
