We just open-sourced Egret-1, a new neural network potential for predicting molecular energies and forces at DFT accuracy — but several orders of magnitude faster.

It’s designed to cover a wide chemical space, from stable bio-organic molecules to challenging transition-state structures, and works out of the box with the ASE calculator interface.

We’re releasing three models:

Egret-1: general-purpose

Egret-1e: optimized for thermochemistry

Egret-1t: optimized for transition states

All models are MIT licensed and publicly available on GitHub.

If you’re doing anything with ML potentials, molecular dynamics, conformer generation, or quantum chemistry in general, would love to hear your thoughts or feedback.
