Ports the Uni-Mol v1 transformer backbone to the array-API dpmodel layer: self-attention that returns its pre-softmax logits, the pre-LN encoder layer, the pair-carrying encoder stack with both norm regularisers, the Gaussian distance basis and the two-layer head. Sources are Uni-Mol 90f52c4 and Uni-Core ace6fae, both MIT licensed; the file header records the provenance per class. Adds "gelu_erf", the exact error-function GELU that Uni-Mol uses, together with an xp_erf backend dispatch. The existing "gelu" and "gelu_tf" keep their current meaning, the tanh approximation, which differs from the exact form by up to 4.7e-4 per element. Verified against tensors dumped from upstream running on the same inputs: with upstream's own attention bias the encoder agrees to 7e-16 relative in fp64. Including the Gaussian basis the agreement is 1e-7 relative, which is one fp32 unit in the last place: upstream evaluates the basis in fp32 because it pretrains an fp16 model, and NumPy and Torch round that last place differently. That behaviour is reproduced by default and can be switched off. No existing code path changes: the new modules are not imported anywhere yet.
Ports the masking and coordinate-noise pipeline of Uni-Mol molecular pretraining from Uni-Mol 90f52c4 (MIT): conformer sampling, the hydrogen policy, cropping, centring, the 90/5/5 corruption, BOS/EOS insertion, and the distance and edge-type construction. Upstream expresses each step as a lazy dataset wrapper; these are plain functions over one frame, which is what a deepmd data loader can call. Corruption belongs on the data side rather than inside a loss because the PyTorch-Exportable backend runs the model before the loss sees a frame, which is also how upstream does it. The legacy numpy.random interface is used deliberately and every call carries a noqa with the reason: upstream seeds the global legacy PRNG, and a Generator would draw a different stream, giving different masks and different noise for the same seed. Verified against tensors dumped from upstream at seed 1, epoch 1, molecules 0-3 of the bundled example data: tokens, loss targets, edge types and both coordinate arrays are bitwise identical, which means the whole random stream is reproduced, down to which atoms are masked and what noise each one gets. The distance matrices differ by 1.9e-6 absolute, the float32 rounding between scipy's distance_matrix and a sqrt of summed squares.
"gelu_erf" was added to the dpmodel table in the previous commit. The name also has to reach the whitelist in deepmd/common.py, because that is what argcheck validates a configuration against, and every backend table has to answer to it: TensorFlow asserts at import that the whitelist is a subset of its own table, so registering the name without a TF entry would break importing deepmd.tf.common. PyTorch, PyTorch-Exportable and Paddle would each raise at runtime instead. All four array backends resolve "gelu_erf" to the exact error-function GELU and agree with torch's own to rounding: 0 for pt and pt_expt, 2.2e-16 for dpmodel. "gelu" and "gelu_tf" keep their current meaning everywhere.
Ports the three pretraining heads (element prediction, coordinate denoising through the pair channel, pairwise distance prediction) and the five-term objective from Uni-Mol 90f52c4 (MIT), with upstream's README weights of 1, 5, 10, 0.01 and 0.01 and its hard-coded distance normalisation. The coordinate update takes the post-deepmodeling#211 form: the normaliser counts every non-padding token, BOS and EOS included, and pairs touching padding are zeroed before the sum. The distance term covers the corrupted rows against every non-padding column, diagonal included. Verified against tensors dumped from upstream, on both a small random model and the released mol_pre_all_h_220816 weights. Heads agree to fp64 rounding: 5e-16 relative on the logits, 2.5e-16 on the distances, 1.8e-20 on the coordinates. All five loss terms agree to 1e-7 relative or better; that floor is upstream's own, since it evaluates log_softmax and both norm regularisers in fp32 regardless of model precision, and those casts are reproduced.
Wraps the ported Uni-Mol v1 backbone in the descriptor interface: it turns a padded deepmd frame into Uni-Mol's token sequence, runs the encoder, and returns the per-atom representation with the two virtual tokens dropped. A second entry point returns everything at token resolution, because the five-tuple cannot carry the virtual tokens or the norm regularisers that the pretraining heads need. Real atoms are identified from the neighbour list rather than from atype: by the time a descriptor is called, virtual atoms have been clamped to type 0 and cannot be told apart from a real first element, while the neighbour list still shows them as empty rows. Frames with fewer than two real atoms are rejected, since that inference is ambiguous for them. Uni-Mol's own 31-token vocabulary is kept because the released weights are indexed by it, and a deepmd type_map is mapped onto it, with unknown elements becoming [UNK]. The descriptor declares itself non-periodic, non-extensive, stat-free and unavailable for edge-parallel or communication paths, and it rejects frames that carry periodic images. The virtual tokens sit at the centroid of the real atoms by default, which keeps the sequence translation invariant; "origin" reproduces upstream exactly for data that its own pipeline has already centred. Checked end to end against the upstream dump, driven through deepmd-shaped inputs: the token sequence is identical, the node representation agrees to 8.2e-9 relative and the pair-delta norm to 6.2e-8, both inherited from the fp32 Gaussian basis. Padding length does not affect the result, as intended.
Adds the converter for the released mol_pre_all_h_220816 and mol_pre_no_h_220816 files (MIT). Parameter names line up one to one with the ported modules, but the arrays do not: deepmd stores a linear weight as (num_in, num_out) and applies it as x @ w, the transpose of torch.nn.Linear.weight, and names layer-norm parameters w/b. Every weight is renamed and transposed rather than loaded directly, so there is no "just add a prefix" path on this backend. The released files carry only their weights and no training state, so they read with weights_only=True. Torch is imported lazily and only to read the file, which keeps the converter off every other code path. Also adds an option to round the pairwise distances to fp32 before the Gaussian basis. Upstream precomputes its distance matrix in fp32 in the data pipeline, while the descriptor computes distances inside the model, which is more accurate and is what gradients flow through. The Gaussian basis is narrow enough that the difference matters: on the released 15-layer weights the node representation lands 5.1e-6 from upstream with fp64 distances and 3.7e-7 with upstream's own fp32 rounding. The default stays on the accurate path. Measured on the released weights driven through deepmd-shaped inputs: the encoder fed upstream's own attention bias agrees to 1.2e-15 relative at full depth, so the remaining gap is entirely the two precision choices upstream makes in front of it.
Wraps the three pretraining heads as a fitting: the element head reads the node representation, the coordinate head reads the pair delta, the distance head reads the pair representation. None is reducible to a frame total and none is differentiated with respect to coordinates, because the task denoises structures rather than modelling a potential energy surface. Upstream's distance objective counts the two virtual tokens among the columns, so the distance output keeps them and is padded to max_atoms + 2 columns, which the loss masks back down. That keeps the output shape static, as the output definition requires, without dropping columns the objective needs. The heads read token-resolution backbone output, which the descriptor's five-tuple cannot carry, so they are driven through call_tokens; the standard call raises with that explanation rather than silently returning something else. The loss now gathers the corrupted positions itself, since the model emits one row per local atom. End-to-end on the released mol_pre_all_h_220816 weights, driven through deepmd-shaped inputs: all five terms of the objective agree with upstream, the worst at 5.6e-7 relative and the total at 3.4e-7.
Three entries, all labelled PyTorch-Exportable: the unimol descriptor, the unimol_pretrain fitting and the unimol loss, with upstream's defaults, which are 15 layers of width 512 with 64 heads for the backbone and weights of 1, 5, 10, 0.01 and 0.01 for the objective. The two precision switches are exposed as arguments, since they decide whether a run reproduces upstream's published numbers or takes the more accurate path, and the docs say which is which. A complete Uni-Mol configuration now normalizes, so the components are reachable from a training input file.
Adds the atomic model and the model class. The atomic model overrides one method to route the backbone's token-resolution output into the heads, because the standard descriptor five-tuple cannot carry the virtual tokens, the pair channel or the norm regularisers. It also returns the head outputs untouched by out-stat: self-supervised targets have no per-element bias to add back. The two norm regularisers are frame scalars, but only per-atom variables survive the atomic-output machinery, so each is broadcast over the local atoms and the loss averages it back with the real-atom mask, which returns the original value exactly. A configuration now goes all the way through: argcheck normalizes it, the model factory picks UniMolPretrainModel by fitting type, and the model returns the three head outputs plus the two regularisers. Driven that way on the released weights, the five-term objective still matches upstream, total at 3.4e-7 relative.
Registers the descriptor, the fitting, the loss and the model. The wrappers are thin, as elsewhere in this backend: the descriptor adds parameter sharing for multi-task training, where level 0 shares the whole backbone and level 1 only the token embedding, and the loss is a straight re-export because the dpmodel one is a pure function of predictions and labels. Two bugs that only the real backend could show, both fixed here: - The element-to-token lookup table and the token embedding were read as plain arrays, so on a CUDA model they stayed on the host and indexing failed. They are now placed on the device of the incoming data, as are the four Gaussian basis tables. - The two regularisers were broadcast with a fill value that torch refuses when it is a tensor rather than a number; they are broadcast by addition now. Checked on GPU through the registered path: a configuration normalizes, the factory builds the model, and the five-term objective on the released weights matches upstream with the total at 8.1e-8 relative.
Adds the golden archive and two test files. Every expected value was produced by running upstream Uni-Mol 90f52c4 unmodified on CPU over four molecules of its own example data at a fixed seed and epoch; the header of the dpmodel test says how to regenerate it. The dpmodel tests cover the data-side transforms, the encoder, the Gaussian basis, the three heads, the descriptor and the five-term objective, plus serialization round trips and the two guards the descriptor raises. The transform test asserts bitwise equality on tokens, targets, edge types and both coordinate arrays, which is what shows the random stream itself is reproduced rather than merely its statistics. The PyTorch-Exportable tests cover the registered path end to end, agreement with the array-API implementation on identical weights, the objective against upstream, and that gradients reach the parameters. Tolerances have stated causes rather than being tuned until they pass. Where upstream's fp32 Gaussian basis is in play, agreement is one fp32 unit in the last place; a dedicated test measures that gap so the looser bound elsewhere is justified, and with the basis in full precision the two backends agree to fp64 rounding.
Uni-Mol regularises with dropout at three sites, 0.1 each on the embedding, on the attention probabilities and on both residual branches, while deepmd has no dropout anywhere. The rates were already carried in the configuration; this makes them act. The array API has no random numbers, so the helper dispatches to torch when a training step needs it and is the identity during inference, which is what the array-API backends are for. Training on a non-torch backend raises rather than quietly dropping the regularisation, which would be a silent parity bug. The flag travels down the call chain rather than relying on nested module state, since the encoder's sub-objects are plain data on the array-API path. A test pins the behaviour: eval-mode forwards are bit-identical to each other, train-mode forwards under different seeds are not.
Uni-Mol ships its pretraining set as one LMDB file of pickled dicts with about ten conformers per molecule; deepmd reads a different layout. The conversion runs once, offline, and streams, so the 115 GB set does not have to fit in memory. One conformer becomes one frame, so ordinary frame sampling stands in for upstream's per-epoch conformer draw, and frames of the same molecule share a system id. The two-dimensional RDKit conformer that upstream appends while loading is added here instead, behind a flag, so the training data path never needs RDKit. Records that cannot be used are skipped rather than written misleadingly: a single-atom molecule, which the descriptor cannot tell from padding, and any molecule with an element outside the Uni-Mol vocabulary, which would silently become [UNK]. Tested against deepmd's own reader: coordinates, elements and the zero cell come back matching the source.
Adds the last pieces between the model and a configuration file. The LMDB reader gains a per-frame transform hook, carried on the decoder configuration so it reaches every decoding path, worker processes included, and defaulting to none so decoding is unchanged without it. Self-supervised objectives have to corrupt their inputs and derive their labels there, because the PyTorch-Exportable backend runs the model before the loss sees a frame. The transform builder turns a converted frame into a corrupted one plus its labels. Masked atoms are carried as a [MASK] pseudo-element, which the model's type_map must declare, and a randomly drawn replacement maps back onto a type the model knows. The loss now derives the distance target and the token column mask when they are not supplied. Storing the distance target would cost O(natoms^2) per frame, which is impractical at 209 million conformers; deriving it from the clean coordinates and the real-atom mask gives the same number, to the fp32 rounding of the stored alternative. Also adds the documentation page, its toctree entry and a pretraining example whose configuration is checked against argcheck in the test suite.
A short training run on GPU turned up the last of these: the two virtual tokens, the position index and the zero centroid were built without a device, so they landed on the host while the rest of the batch was on the accelerator, and concatenating them failed. The same omission was present in the loss, when it derives the token mask and the clean distances, and in the fitting, when it broadcasts the regularisers and pads the distance output. Array-API code has to say where an array lives; only operations derived from an existing array inherit it. Every construction now takes the device of the data it will be combined with. With this, training runs: converting the bundled example molecules, installing the transform on the reader and stepping Adam for 60 steps takes the objective from 8.48 to 3.02, with all five terms falling.
Calling the model with a cell used to die on an allocation of several million gigabytes rather than on a readable error: the descriptor has no cut-off, so the neighbour-list builder went looking for an astronomical number of periodic images, and the descriptor's own check on extended atoms never got the chance to fire. Both model classes now reject a non-zero cell up front, with an explanation. The upper entry point, which builds its own neighbour list from coordinates and types, is covered by a test as well; it was previously exercised only through the lower one.
Until now the Uni-Mol corruption had to be installed by hand, so a training run started from a configuration file would have found no labels. The loss base class gains an optional frame_transform, defaulting to none, and the PyTorch-Exportable trainer installs whatever the task's objective returns on that task's datasets, right where it already registers the label requirements. Supervised losses return nothing and their data path is untouched. The corruption settings move onto the loss, which is where they belong: the labels are whatever the corruption produced. They are exposed through argcheck, so the masking rate, the 90/5/5 split, the noise and the seed are all configurable, with upstream's values as defaults. A dataset type that cannot take a transform now fails with an explanation rather than with missing labels much later.
The documentation now says how training is launched, that the dataset has to be an LMDB one because the corruption happens as frames are read, that the objective carries the corruption settings, and that the type_map needs the [MASK] pseudo-element. The example configuration gains that pseudo-element and the corruption settings with upstream's values, and a test validates it against argcheck. It is checked there rather than in the shared example test, because that one also requires the referenced dataset to exist in the repository, while this example points at data the user converts from upstream.
Running the command line end to end turned up five gaps that no unit test would have shown, because each sits in the path between a configuration file and the first training step. - The trainer's loss factory did not know the objective, so a configuration naming it was rejected outright. - The fitting was missing the accessors the atomic model calls on any fitting: frame and atomic parameter dimensions, the default frame parameter, selected types, exclusion re-initialisation, case embeddings and input statistics. The ones that do not apply now say so instead of raising AttributeError. - The per-frame transform ran after the reader checked that the mandatory fields were present, so a self-supervised run failed on the very labels the transform was about to produce. It now runs before that check. - The converter wrote a zero cell to mark a molecule, and the neighbour-list builder took it for a real cell and tried to invert it. Molecular frames now carry no cell at all. - The example pointed at its dataset with a list, while LMDB datasets are addressed with a plain string. The example and the documentation say so now. With these, a run from the shipped example trains: both the training and validation curves report all five terms and a checkpoint is written.
Covers everything between a configuration file and the first training step: the loss factory, the accessors the atomic model calls on any fitting, the reader hook that produces the labels, and the absence of a cell on molecular frames. Each of those was broken at some point, and none of the component tests would have shown it.
Freezing a Uni-Mol model failed with "does not support periodic images", which is not what a user doing that was attempting: the export machinery feeds the ghost-atom layout with symbolic dimensions, not a periodic cell. The guard now names both cases, since the underlying requirement is the same one, that every atom be local, and the documentation says so too.
Recipes carried over from other frameworks often assume a different epsilon than PyTorch's, and Uni-Mol is one of them: it pretrains with 1e-6 where the default here is 1e-8. The option defaults to the current value, so existing configurations are unaffected, and the example now carries upstream's optimizer values. This matches the value, not the placement: upstream's own Adam puts epsilon outside the bias correction, so the update differs slightly early in training whatever epsilon is configured. The documentation says so.
An adversarial review of this branch found that the token embedding and all four Gaussian basis tables never received a gradient. They were assigned as bare numpy arrays, and the PyTorch-Exportable wrapper turns a bare array into a buffer, not a parameter: 2,701 values in a small model, and the whole element-pair affine table in a real one, sat frozen at their initial values while the rest of the network trained. Inference and checkpoint parity were unaffected, which is why the parity tests did not catch it. They are layers now, which is how deepmd expresses a trained array. The same review found that every module was handed the same seed. Since each layer seeds its own generator, two layers of the same shape drew identical numbers: all fifteen encoder blocks started bitwise identical, and so did several head pairs. Seeds are split with child_seed, as everywhere else in deepmd. With a seed set, the layers now differ and a from-scratch run no longer starts from a degenerate state. Parity with the released weights is unchanged: the backbone still lands at 3.7e-7 relative and the five-term objective at 3.4e-7.
Three defects the review found in the data path. The corruption was frozen: the objective built its transform once with the default epoch, so every frame was masked identically on every pass. Upstream draws afresh each epoch. The transform now counts how often it has seen each frame and uses that count where upstream uses the epoch, so a molecule is corrupted differently each time it comes round. Passing an epoch explicitly is refused, since it is no longer a build-time constant. Cropping moved out of the transform. A frame's atom count and the batch layout are settled before any per-frame transform runs, so shortening a frame there would leave it inconsistent with the batch it belongs to. The converter applies the size cap instead, which is also where upstream's other preprocessing lives. An element the model's type_map cannot express is no longer drawn as a random replacement. It used to be mapped onto [MASK], which quietly turned a random-element atom into a masked one and skewed the 90/5/5 split. With the full element set nothing is excluded and the distribution is upstream's. Also: the descriptor now honours its configured precision instead of silently working in the input dtype; the distance head refuses a frame wider than the width it declares rather than returning a wider array than its output definition; TensorFlow's exact GELU computes its square root in the tensor dtype rather than rounding it through fp32; and every array construction states its dtype, which the repository's pylint gate requires. The golden archive is regenerated with two molecules instead of four, which brings it under the repository's file-size limit while keeping frames of different lengths. pre-commit now passes on every changed file.
Making them parameters was not enough: reading them through the array API's asarray, which the device fix had introduced, copied them out of the autograd graph, so they still received no gradient. They are indexed directly now. Parameters already live on the model's device, so the wrapper was never needed for them; it stays only for the plain lookup table, which is not a parameter. The tests that should have caught both of these are the ones the review found could not fail, so they are strengthened here: - the gradient test names the backbone parameters it expects to reach, rather than accepting any parameter with a gradient, which the three heads alone satisfied; - the dropout test also builds a model with every rate at zero and asserts that training mode is then deterministic, which a single hard-coded dropout call would not survive; - the descriptor's five-tuple entry point is compared against the token-resolution one by value, not only by shape; - the masking statistics are measured by running the ported corruption over two dozen molecules rather than by reading the fixture back; - the norm regularisers get a direct test of the hinge and of the masked mean, including an all-padding row, since the golden values for them are zero and constrain nothing; - the released-checkpoint importer gets a test, driven with the golden's upstream-named weights, covering both the transposed projections and the untransposed lookup tables; - the data fixture is large enough that the 15% selection selects something, and a new test pins that revisiting a frame corrupts it differently.
Six findings from the automated review, all local to this feature. An element the model's type_map cannot express was written back as [MASK], which quietly turned an ordinary atom into a corrupted one. That happens when the type_map reaches beyond Uni-Mol's 26 elements, since the extras tokenize to [UNK] and [UNK] has no type to return to. Such a frame is refused now, with the offending elements named. The per-frame visit counter grew one dictionary entry per frame, on a data format whose own design point is a hundred million frames. One counter for the whole transform does the same job in constant space. The training and validation datasets shared a transform, so validation passes advanced the corruption that training was drawing from. Each dataset gets its own. The objective carried a max_atoms it could not apply, since the transform runs after batching and the converter is what caps the size. It is gone from the loss, the schema and the example. Loading a released checkpoint into a descriptor of the wrong shape used to proceed and ignore the extra layers. The importer checks the layer count and the key shapes first. The loss base class deleted a parameter it simply does not use, which a static analyser flagged; it documents it instead. Tests cover the two new refusals.
Two more from the review. The number of corrupted atoms is rounded stochastically, so a frame can draw none at all, and a batch of one such frame leaves every term a mean over an empty set. Upstream returns NaN there and it would reach backward, so the one division is guarded and the smooth-L1 mean returns zero on an empty input. Batches that select something are bit-for-bit unchanged; the objective still agrees with upstream to 7.7e-07 on the released weights. The masked-token branch of the element head indexed with a boolean mask alongside a slice, which the array API allows only as a sole index.
The reader decodes batches in spawned worker processes, which pickle whatever the decoder configuration carries. The corruption was a closure, so a run with the default worker count and a batch no smaller than that count died with "Can't pickle local object" the moment it drew its first batch. It is a class now, and a test pickles it. Being picklable is not enough on its own. Each batch sends the worker a fresh copy, so a counter standing in for the epoch resets over and over and every visit corrupts a molecule the same way -- which is what the counter existed to prevent. The number that stands in for the epoch is therefore drawn from a generator that lives in the process, keyed by the transform, and the option documents what that costs: a run is reproducible from data_seed only when one process decodes it. The element check moved to the input side. Refusing a frame only when an unexpressible token survived the corruption meant the refusal depended on the draw, so the same molecule was refused or silently masked depending on the day. An element Uni-Mol has no token for is now refused as soon as it is seen. A misspelt noise_type fell through to adding no noise at all, which trains on clean coordinates and looks like a converged run. It is rejected. The converter builds beside its destination and moves it into place, so a malformed record hours in no longer destroys the dataset it was replacing, and a conversion that yields no usable frame says so rather than writing a dataset whose first read raises. The pickle trust boundary is documented where a reader will meet it. adam_eps was registered for Adam only, while the trainer passed it to AdamW too, where a user-supplied value was rejected as unknown. AdamW declares it now.
Setting `precision` on this model failed outright. The backbone hands its output back at the global precision, because its own forward is wrapped in cast_precision, so heads configured at anything else were handed the wrong dtype and torch refused to multiply. The decorator could not cover it: it casts arrays it is given directly, and what the heads are given is a dictionary. The fitting casts that dictionary itself now, and casts the results back. Every test here pinned float64, which is the global precision, so none of them could see it; the failure turned up on a real training run. The new test asks for float32 and is in the torch suite deliberately -- NumPy upcasts a float64 activation against a float32 weight without complaint, so the array-API backend cannot fail this way and a test there would pass either way. Worth knowing: the released example inherits the float64 default, and float32 is about five times faster on the same data and hardware.
Two things the reference dataset at OMat24 settles. The converter wrote coordinates as float64 and types as int64, and gave every frame an `atom_names` list and an `orig` vector. The datasets already published in this format store float32 and int32, carry neither of those fields, and encode an array with three keys rather than five. The reader discards `atom_names` and `orig` on the way in, so they were dead weight in all 188 million frames. float32 is also what the source holds: upstream generated these conformers in single precision, so widening them stored zeros. The converted validation split goes from 3.6 GB to 1.4 GB and reads about eight percent faster; the same reader still reads both, and the reference dataset. The example now trains in single precision, which is what DPA models train in. The backbone is a transformer, not a potential energy surface, and the difference is not small: measured over the same 120 steps at the same batch on the same data, float64 takes 1.0263 s/batch and float32 takes 0.0924, eleven times faster. At the old default one pass over the pretraining set would have taken about seventy GPU-days.
Three blocking, three not. The default virtual_token_position placed the virtual tokens at the centroid of the coordinates the descriptor was handed, which during pretraining are the corrupted ones, while the distance target places them at the origin. Every corrupted row's two virtual columns therefore trained against a label for a different position, off by about the size of the noise: on a six-atom frame with one noised atom the descriptor put them 0.17 A from where the target assumed. Pretraining now requires 'origin', which is where upstream puts them and, since the corruption centres every frame, where the clean centroid is -- so nothing is given up. The only end-to-end training test in the suite had been running with the wrong labels and now sets it, and a new test covers the default being refused rather than silently mistrained. The number standing in for the epoch was drawn from OS entropy, so two runs of one configuration disagreed and the seed's documented guarantee was false. That was a regression from fixing the worker-pickling bug: replacing the counter with a random stream id fixed the freeze but broke reproducibility. The stream is derived from the seed and a caller's label now, and the process id keys only the cache, never the seed. The converter deleted the old dataset before renaming the new one into place, leaving a window with neither -- the loss the staging directory exists to prevent. It moves the old one aside, renames, then removes it, and puts it back if the rename fails. Non-blocking: max_seq_len is documented as feeding get_rcut rather than as inert; _frame_scalar guards its divisor like the two reductions beside it; and the docs say the validation set is re-corrupted every pass, so its loss reads as a trend rather than a comparable number.
A head that predicts a per-atom vector needs the l=1 part of the backbone state. The blocks compute it and the read-out throws it away, so there was no way to reach it from the array-API backends; the pt backend has exposed the same thing as forward_with_edges all along. call_with_latent returns it alongside the descriptor, cast to the global precision like everything else leaving a public entry. call is untouched.
Uni-Mol reads its coordinate update out of the pair channel, weighting each separation by a learned scalar. DPA4 has no pair channel -- it attends per edge with a scatter softmax and returns no pair axis -- so the update comes from the l=1 part of the equivariant state instead, which is a per-atom vector already. The projection is the descriptor's own SO3Linear, degree-wise with its weights shared across the three m components, so what comes out rotates with the input. The l=1 rows are not (x, y, z). Reading them as such yields something that does not rotate at all, which would let a rotated copy of a learned structure come back denoised differently. The mapping that does hold was found by rotating the input and asking which of the 48 signed permutations satisfies v(Rx) = R v(x): exactly one does, to 1.7e-14 in float64, against 0.64 for the next best. The test rotates a molecule and checks the prediction follows, and fails if the rows are read as Cartesian. It runs in float64 on purpose: at the default single precision the same check only reaches 1e-6, which is fp32 noise and would hide a wrong basis rather than expose it.
Uni-Mol reads its distance term out of a pair representation, a vector per ordered atom pair. DPA4 carries no such thing, so a pair is described by its two endpoints instead, which have already exchanged information through the backbone's message passing. The combination is symmetric in the two endpoints because a distance is, which makes the prediction symmetric by construction rather than by averaging a matrix against its transpose afterwards. Which pairs the objective covers is now a choice, and it is the one place this departs from Uni-Mol by construction. The default follows the backbone's neighbour list: cheap, and it reuses the locality the rest of deepmd trains on. The alternative covers every pair, which is Uni-Mol's own coverage, for reproducing its training at O(nloc^2) and without sharing that locality. On drug-like molecules a 6 Angstrom cut-off holds about half of all pairs, so the two are not close, and the choice belongs to whoever is training rather than to this code. Both settings predict identical numbers from identical weights; only the mask differs, so the option selects coverage and nothing else. The tests check that, the symmetry, that the diagonal is never covered, and that neighbour-list padding covers nothing -- padding is negative and would wrap if used as an index.
Uni-Mol wraps each molecule in BOS and EOS and counts both among the distance columns; the clean distances it compares against place them at the centroid. A DPA backbone wraps it in nothing, so scoring one that way would compare against two columns that do not exist. The objective takes which convention it is scoring, defaulting to Uni-Mol's, so nothing about the existing path moves. It also honours a coverage mask when the head emits one. Uni-Mol's distance head covers the whole pair axis and emits none; a neighbour-list head covers part of it and says which part, and only those pairs are averaged. The released-weight agreement is unchanged at 7.7e-07.
The three heads Uni-Mol trains, reading what a DPA backbone actually exposes: the element head takes the per-atom representation as before, the coordinate head takes the equivariant state, and the distance head takes pairs of atom representations. Uni-Mol's two norm regularisers have no counterpart, because they constrain quantities belonging to its own transformer; the objective leaves them at zero weight. The pair outputs declare a fixed column count. The machinery that turns fitting output into model output looks up its definition for every key returned, and a key it does not declare raises KeyError on the way out, so a frame shorter than that count is padded and the coverage mask says which columns are real. A frame longer than it is refused with the count named, rather than silently truncated. A test asserts the declared set and the returned set are equal, which is the invariant that would have caught the KeyError before it was hit.
Two of the things these heads read are not in a descriptor's five-tuple: the equivariant state the coordinate head projects, which the descriptor otherwise discards, and the neighbour list the distance head uses to decide which pairs it covers. One overridden method fetches both and hands them over; nothing else about the atomic model changes, which follows the same shape as the Uni-Mol backbone's own atomic model. A backbone that cannot expose its equivariant state is refused by name at construction, rather than failing later inside the coordinate head. The test that matters is the last one: this model's output goes into Uni-Mol's objective and comes back with three finite terms. The backbone wraps the molecule in no virtual tokens, and Uni-Mol's two norm regularisers constrain quantities belonging to its own transformer, so they carry no weight here.
The heads become reachable from an input file: a fitting registered as `unimol_dpa_pretrain` on both backends, a model type to go with it, and the factory passing down the degree the backbone reads out, the way it already passes an embedding width to the tensor fittings. `dist_coverage` is the choice between following the backbone's neighbour list and covering every pair. Its documentation says what each costs rather than naming them: the neighbour list reuses the locality the rest of deepmd trains on but sees only the pairs inside the cut-off, which on drug-like molecules is about half of them at 6 Angstrom and less for the larger ones; every pair is Uni-Mol's own coverage, for reproducing its training, at quadratic cost and without sharing that locality. The default follows the neighbour list. The objective gained `virtual_tokens` in code but not in its schema, so it could not be set from a configuration at all. It can now. The tests drive the configured path rather than constructing objects directly, and pin the property that makes the coverage option honest: with a neighbour list that already holds every pair the two settings agree exactly, and they diverge only by what a partial list leaves out.
The example trains the objective on a DPA4 backbone on its own. What would be more useful -- one backbone trained by a DFT branch and this objective together -- is not shippable yet: DPA4 implements share_params only on the pt backend, and on these two the method raises, so the branches cannot be linked. The multi-task configuration is written and validates, but a configuration that cannot run is not an example, so it waits. The page says what each head reads and why it differs from Uni-Mol, documents the coverage choice with what each side costs rather than just naming them, and records two consequences of carrying [MASK] as a type that are easier to learn here than from a failure: a DPA4 model pretrained without it cannot be adapted, because DPA4 does not implement change_type_map; and electronic-configuration type embedding rejects a type_map entry that is not a real element. The example is checked in this suite rather than the shared example test, which also requires the referenced dataset to exist, as the Uni-Mol one already is.
Three reviewers attacked this branch before it became a pull request. Two findings would have shipped silently. The coordinate head was never trained. It projects with the descriptor's SO3Linear, whose weights are plain arrays, and on this backend a plain array is registered as a buffer; the promotion that turns those back into parameters runs only inside the DPA4 descriptors, so the head held none. The optimizer is built from the model's parameters, so it would have trained as a frozen random projection forever -- and quietly, because the coordinate term still falls: gradients reach the backbone through the frozen projection either way. The fitting carries its own promotion now, as each descriptor does, and a test checks the weight actually moves rather than merely existing. Scoring a DPA backbone with virtual_tokens left at its default shifted every distance label by one column. It selected the same number of entries, so nothing crashed and nothing changed shape; every corrupted row simply trained against another atom's distances, about an Angstrom out. Which convention a backbone follows is settled by whether it emits pair coverage, so the two are cross-checked instead of left to the configuration. all_pairs excluded the diagonal while claiming to be Uni-Mol's coverage, which scores the zero self-distance -- entries carrying the most extreme normalised label in the set. It covers them now, and the tests and documentation say so. A periodic frame was refused only when a box reached the model, but evaluation and export enter lower down, where a cell has already become ghost atoms. The refusal moved to the atomic model, which every path passes through. The graph entry the base class advertises is declared unsupported rather than left to fail on a missing method. The neighbour mask no longer builds a one-hot over the neighbour axis: it was two gigabytes per step at a realistic sel and batch size, for a result of eight megabytes, and the replacement is bit-identical. Two claims of mine were wrong and are corrected: that exactly one of the 48 signed permutations is equivariant, when an intertwiner's negation is necessarily one too; and that this objective is periodic-capable in principle, which it is not. A stray unittest.main left mid-file hid sixteen tests from anyone running it directly.
The equivariant state this branch makes reachable is not bit-reproducible between identical calls on the torch backend when the backbone runs in single precision with use_env_seed on, which is the shipped default. Measured at 7e-09, against exactly zero for the scalar read-out; it disappears in double precision or with use_env_seed off. This is the backbone's property, not the heads', and it predates this branch -- but nothing reached that state before, so this accessor is where it becomes visible, and the coordinate head is what carries it into a training run. Far below anything the objective resolves, and the element and distance heads are untouched, but someone comparing coord_update across two runs would otherwise have to rediscover it.

DPAtomicModelderivesadd_chg_spin_ebdfrom the DPA4 descriptor andcall_with_latentacceptscharge_spin, but this method deletes the argument. A descriptor configured with charge/spin conditioning therefore silently falls back to its default instead of using caller-provided values, while the model API still advertises that input.

- Although
dist_coverage="neighbour"is documented as O(nloc*nnei), these lines always allocate the full(nf, nloc, nloc, 2*dim)pair tensor and run every head layer before applying the neighbour mask. The loss also derives the full distance target before masking, so the default mode remains quadratic and can erase the intended coverage trade-off for larger molecules. Compute only covered neighbours (scattering/padding if the dense output ABI must remain) or revise the documented contract.

- This fitting intentionally emits no
x_normordelta_pair_normoutputs, butUniMolLossdefaults both corresponding weights to0.01. A minimal normalized configuration withloss: {type: unimol, virtual_tokens: false}therefore reaches the first batch and raises a missing-key error instead of training. Please provide DPA-specific zero defaults or validate/reject these nonzero regularizer weights during configuration with a clear message.
All are per-atom, none reduces to a frame total, and none is
differentiated with respect to coordinates or cell: this objective
denoises a structure rather than predicting a potential energy surface.

- Both dataset-specific transforms call this factory without a dataset-role stream, so the default stream is used for training and validation. Because
_EPOCH_STREAMSis keyed by(stream, pid), the two transforms then share one process-global generator; validation reads advance the sequence used for training and make it depend on validation scheduling. Pass distinct, stable stream labels from the training/validation setup into this factory (and through tomake_unimol_data_transform).

- Although this constructs a fresh transform for each dataset, both calls use
frame_transform's default stream.UniMolFrameTransformhashes that default to the same_EPOCH_STREAMSkey, so training and validation consume one shared epoch-draw generator; the validation corruption then depends on how many training frames were decoded and is not independent as documented and tested for explicit streams. Pass distinct stream identifiers (for example,trainingandvalidation) through the loss/trainer API.

Support the configured virtual-token convention.
This guard rejects "centroid", although DescrptUniMol uses it by default. It also conflicts with the stated requirement to support both virtual-token conventions.
Make the distance target use the descriptor's selected convention. Then remove this unconditional rejection.
Based on the PR objective: “The objective supports both virtual-token conventions.”

Keep the UniMol atom-count check out of GPU forward execution
Supported pt_expt training reaches DPUniMolAtomicModel.forward_atomic, then DescrptUniMol.forward_tokens, and finally build_tokens. array_api_compat.array_namespace(coord_ext) resolves xp for the Torch tensor input. Therefore bool(xp.any(n_real < 2)) converts a GPU tensor to a Python boolean and synchronizes the host on every forward.
Move this validation to data preparation before the batch reaches the GPU.

Correct the pair_mask docstring for the all_pairs coverage.
The docstring states the mask is 0 on the diagonal. With coverage="all_pairs" the returned mask is all ones, and the comment at lines 261-265 states that scoring the diagonal is intentional. The two statements contradict each other, and the loss consumer relies on this contract.

Guard the two norm regularisers against a backbone that does not emit them.
x_norm_loss and delta_pair_repr_norm_loss default to 0.01, so both branches run unless the configuration sets them to zero. UniMolDPAPretrainFitting.output_def declares only token_logits, coord_update, pair_dist and pair_mask, so model_dict carries neither x_norm nor delta_pair_norm on the DPA path. A DPA configuration that sets virtual_tokens=false and keeps the default weights therefore fails the first training step with a bare KeyError: 'x_norm'. The module docstring of deepmd/dpmodel/fitting/unimol_dpa_pretrain.py (lines 12-14) states the objective leaves these at zero weight, but the defaults do not implement that.
Raise an explicit error that names the mismatch, in the same style as the virtual_tokens cross-check.

Use distinct corruption streams for each task and dataset.
Both calls use the default stream. The resulting transforms have the same self.stream, and _next_epoch uses one process-level generator for that stream. Validation reads therefore advance the training corruption sequence. A change to validation frequency changes later training masks.
Extend frame_transform to accept a stream label. Pass stable labels such as f"{model_key}:training" and f"{model_key}:validation".

Skip an unparsable SMILES fallback conformer.
When add_2d_conformer=True, _conformers passes the result of Chem.MolFromSmiles(record["smi"]) to Chem.AddHs. MolFromSmiles can return None for an unparsable SMILES, and Chem.AddHs(None) raises.
convert_unimol_lmdb calls _conformers inside one outer try block. Its handler removes the staging directory and re-raises, so one unparsable SMILES can abort the conversion. The existing skip policy covers invalid atom lists and coordinate-shape mismatches, but not this RDKit failure.
Return the existing conformers when the SMILES does not parse.
🐛 Proposed fix
- mol = Chem.AddHs(Chem.MolFromSmiles(record["smi"]))
+ parsed = Chem.MolFromSmiles(record["smi"])

+ # An unparsable SMILES costs one conformer, not the whole run.

Commit the destination in bounded LMDB transactions.
convert_unimol_lmdb keeps one write transaction open for every frame. LMDB spills dirty pages when its dirty list fills, so memory does not grow with every dirty page until commit. However, the spill list and transaction bookkeeping still grow, and liblmdb can return MDB_TXN_FULL when a transaction is too large. Commit frame records in bounded batches. Write __metadata__ in the final transaction. Keep the existing .partial cleanup so a committed prefix is removed if conversion fails before publication.

Blocking on the unresolved correctness threads already attached to this head rather than duplicating them inline. I independently verified the DPA-loss default mismatch: UniMolLoss / argcheck default x_norm_loss and delta_pair_repr_norm_loss to 0.01, while UniMolDPAPretrainFitting.output_def() emits neither x_norm nor delta_pair_norm. The shipped DPA example explicitly overrides both to zero, but a valid user configuration that selects the DPA fitting and otherwise keeps loss defaults reaches the first loss call and indexes missing keys. This needs either DPA-specific defaults/validation or a clear guarded mismatch path before merge.
There are additional unresolved inline correctness concerns on the current head (notably training/validation corruption-stream isolation) that should also be resolved or rebutted. I did not duplicate those existing inline comments. CI is green, but it does not exercise these configuration/sequence cases.

Uni-Mol's self-supervised objective does not need Uni-Mol's transformer. This
runs the same three tasks on a DPA4 backbone, so that molecular pretraining data
can train the descriptor that DFT data trains.
Depends on #6019, which adds the objective itself; only what the heads read is
new here.
What the heads read
DPA4 carries no representation per atom pair — it attends per edge with a
scatter softmax — and wraps no virtual tokens around a molecule. So the element
head reads the per-atom representation as before, while:
state, projected by a degree-wise linear whose weights are shared across the
three
mcomponents, so its output rotates with the molecule. The l=1 rowsare not
(x, y, z); the mapping that is equivariant was established byrotating the input and testing all 48 signed permutations. Two hold — one and
its negation, as must be the case — to 1.7e-14 in float64, against 0.2 for the
next best. Which of the two is used does not matter: the projection feeding it
is learned.
[h_i + h_j | h_i * h_j], symmetric in them because a distance is — so thepredicted matrix is symmetric by construction rather than by averaging
against its transpose.
Uni-Mol's two norm regularisers constrain quantities belonging to its own
transformer and have no counterpart, so they carry no weight.
Which pairs the distance term covers
dist_coverageselects between following the backbone's neighbour list(default: cheaper, and it reuses the locality the rest of deepmd trains on) and
covering every pair (Uni-Mol's own coverage, for reproducing its training, at
quadratic cost). On drug-like molecules a 6 Å cut-off holds about half of all
pairs, so the two are not close, and the choice belongs to whoever is training.
all_pairsincludes the diagonal, because upstream scores the zeroself-distance too and those entries carry the most extreme normalised label in
the set. The setting selects which pairs are scored and nothing else: both
predict the same numbers from the same weights, and given a neighbour list that
already holds every other atom they differ by exactly the self-pairs — which a
neighbour list can never contain. Tests pin both halves of that.
Exposing the equivariant state
DescrptDPA4.call_with_latentreturns the state the read-out is taken from,which was otherwise discarded.
callis untouched and verified byte-identical.Not included: multi-task
Training one shared backbone from a DFT branch and this objective together is
the reason to put the objective on a DPA backbone. It is not here, because DPA4
implements
share_paramsonly on the pt backend; on dpmodel it is a stub thatraises and pt_expt overrides it to raise. The configuration is otherwise ready —
it validates, both branches build, and 84 parameters are shareable — so this
waits on that method rather than on anything in this change. A follow-up will
add it.
Periodic frames
Refused, at the atomic model so that the evaluation and export paths are covered
too. The backbone handles a cell; this objective does not, because its distance
target is a plain coordinate difference with no minimum-image convention and its
coverage keeps only local neighbours. It would have trained against wrong labels
rather than failed.
Reproducibility of the coordinate head
The equivariant state it reads is not bit-reproducible between identical calls
on the torch backend when the backbone runs in single precision with
use_env_seedon, which is the default. It measures around 7e-09 — far belowanything the objective resolves — and only the coordinate head is affected,
since the scalar read-out is exact. It disappears in double precision or with
use_env_seedoff. This is the backbone's property rather than these heads',but nothing reached that state before, so it becomes visible here;
doc/model/ unimol-dpa.mdsays the same at more length.Tests
Rotation equivariance of the coordinate head end to end, and that reading the
l=1 rows as Cartesian fails it; symmetry, coverage and neighbour-list padding
for the distance head; that the fitting's returned keys match its declared ones;
and the objective scoring the model through the configured path.
Two of them guard failures that are silent rather than loud. The coordinate head
projects with weights that this backend registers as buffers unless they are
promoted, and an unpromoted head trains as a frozen random projection while the
coordinate term still falls, because gradients reach the backbone through it
either way — so the test asks whether the weight moves, not whether it exists.
And scoring this backbone under the other virtual-token convention selects the
same number of entries, shifting every distance label one column instead of
raising, so the convention is cross-checked against what the backbone emits.
