The OpenLAM Challenges

Understand

Inspired by the success of Large Language Models (LLMs), the development of Large Atom Models (LAMs) has gained significant momentum in scientific computation.

• Since 2022, the Deep Potential team has been actively pretraining LAMs and launched the OpenLAM Initiative to develop an open-source foundation model spanning the periodic table.
• A core objective is establishing comprehensive benchmarks for reliable LAM evaluation, addressing limitations in existing datasets.
• As a first step, the LAM Crystal Philately competition has collected over 19.8 million valid structures, including 1 million on the OpenLAM convex hull, driving advancements in generative modeling and materials science applications.
