Scaling up Materials Foundation Models - Lecture 4

Explore the evolution and scaling of materials foundation models in this 26-minute conference talk by Venkat Viswanathan at MICDE University of Michigan. Delve into the history of text-based representations for molecules and materials, tracing back to the influential SMILES representation from 1987. Discover the speaker's work on scaling materials foundation models for both molecules and crystals, and learn about neural scaling laws. Gain insights into the training of a 2.2B model on a single Cerebras CS-2 wafer. Conclude by examining the future prospects of generative materials modeling and its potential impact on the field.
