fairchem is the FAIR Chemistry's centralized repository of all its data, models,
demos, and application efforts for materials science and quantum chemistry.
⚠️ FAIRChem version 2 is a breaking change from version 1 and is not compatible with our previous pretrained models and code. If you want to use an older model or code from version 1 you will need to install version 1, as detailed here.
⚠️ Some of the docs and new features in FAIRChem version 2 are still being updated so you may see some changes over the next few weeks. Check back here for the latest instructions. Thank you for your patience!
Read about the UMA model and dataset release.

Although not required, we highly recommend installing using a package manager and virtualenv such as uv, it is much faster and better at resolving dependencies than standalone pip.
Install fairchem-core using pip
pip install fairchem-coreThe easiest way to use pretrained models is via the ASE FAIRChemCalculator.
A single uma model can be used for a wide range of applications in chemistry and materials science by picking the
appropriate task name for domain specific prediction.

We plan to bring back the following models compatible with Fairchem V2 soon:
- Gemnet-OC
- EquiformerV2
- ESEN
We will also be releasing more detailed documentation on how to use Fairchem V2, stay tuned!
The old OCPCalculator, trainer code will NOT be revived. We apologize for the inconvenience and please raise Issues if you need help! In the meantime, you can still use models from fairchem version 1, by installing version 1,
pip install fairchem-core==1.10And using the OCPCalculator
from fairchem.core import OCPCalculator
calc = OCPCalculator(
model_name="EquiformerV2-31M-S2EF-OC20-All+MD",
local_cache="pretrained_models",
cpu=False,
