Atlas 1: Molecular Property Prediction

State-of-the-Art Geometric GNN for Predicting Molecular Properties

Part of the Atlas Series: From Properties to Structures

Model Description

Atlas 1 is a production-ready Geometric Graph Neural Network that predicts molecular properties (HOMO energy) from 3D molecular structures. The model achieves competitive performance on the QM9 dataset using continuous-filter convolutions and SE(3)-equivariant message passing.

Key Features:

• 🎯 RMSE: 0.109 eV on QM9 HOMO prediction
• ⚡ Fast inference: <10ms per molecule
• 🔬 2.2× improvement over baseline
• 🎨 Interactive demo with 3D visualization

Quick Start

import torch
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# Download model checkpoint
checkpoint_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="Reverb/atlas-1-molecular-property-prediction",
    filename="pytorch_model.bin"
)

# Load checkpoint
checkpoint = torch.load(checkpoint_path, map_location='cpu')

# Initialize model (requires src/ code)
from src.models.geometric_gnn import GeometricGNN

model = GeometricGNN(
    hidden_dim=256,
    num_layers=6,
    num_frequencies=16,
    max_l=3,
    cutoff=5.0,
)

# Load weights
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])
model.eval()

# Predict
# (requires PyG Data object with x, pos, edge_index)
output = model(data)
homo_energy = output['pred_mean'].item() * 0.043 - 0.232  # Denormalize
print(f"Predicted HOMO: {homo_energy:.4f} eV")
