Overview
AQCat is a family of spin-aware machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) built for heterogeneous catalysis screening and chemical discovery. Deployed as an Amazon SageMaker model package in the customer own AWS tenant, AQCat supports both direct model inference for structural energies and forces and an adsorption workflow for estimating minimum adsorption energies across candidate catalyst surfaces. It is designed to deliver DFT-level adsorption energy accuracy at up to 20,000x the speed of physics-based calculations. Developed for materials scientists, catalyst researchers, computational chemists, and R&D teams in industries including chemicals, energy, oil and gas, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, it helps users evaluate catalyst candidates faster while keeping proprietary structures and workflows inside their own environment.
The AQCat25-EV2 model is trained on the AQCat25 dataset with 13.5 million high-fidelity DFT calculations. In published benchmarking referenced in the listing draft, it identified the global minimum adsorption within 0.1 eV for 69.9% of the test set and achieved mean absolute errors of 349 meV on energies and 16.98 meV/A on forces on the AQCat25 test set, while maintaining 290 meV energy error and 20.46 meV/A force error on a subsampled OC20 validation set. For organizations seeking a machine learning force field (MLFF) for adsorption energy prediction, transition-state exploration, and virtual screening, AQCat is designed to reduce the tradeoff between quantum-chemistry accuracy and computational throughput.
Revisions to Standard Contract for AWS Marketplace: We are making our model available under the Standard Contract for AWS Marketplace, but note that our professional liability insurance does not cover proprietary rights infringement as described in Section 11.1.2 of the Standard Contract, and this product listing amends that section of the contract as permitted by Section 1.3 of the Standard Contract.
Highlights
- In-Silico Virtual Screening: Pre-screen massive, high-risk chemical design spaces and novel bulk compounds in days instead of months to optimize R&D budgets before physical synthesis.
- Isolated, Secure Workloads: Run highly proprietary molecular structures and catalyst designs with absolute data privacy. Because the model deploys via Amazon SageMaker inside your own isolated AWS tenant, your input data, inference payloads, and chemical structures are never exposed to external networks, never shared with SandboxAQ, and never used for retraining.
- Unlocking Sustainable Energy and Chemicals: Accelerate the discovery of optimal active sites and intermediates for green hydrogen production (water splitting), carbon capture utilization (CO2-to-fuels), fuel cells, sustainable fertilizer production, and methane-to-methanol conversion.

Amazon SageMaker model
An Amazon SageMaker model package is a pre-trained machine learning model ready to use without additional training. Use the model package to create a model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.
Version release notes
This version includes the AQCat25-EV2 MLP, which is a machine learning model for heterogeneous catalysis that incorporates spin polarization and covers every industrially relevant element. Trained on the AQCat25 dataset (with 13.5 million high-fidelity DFT calculations).
Additional details
Inputs
- Summary
There are two modes that the model can be run in. More details and input samples can be found in the docs here . For mode: "mlp" (default, docs here ), the model expects application/json input with an instances array of one or more atomic structures, where each structure is provided as a JSON-serialized ASE Atoms object. Multiple structures can be included in the same instances array to create a mini-batch within a single request. For mode: “min-adsorption-energy-workflow” (docs here ): The model expects application/json input with an instances array of one or more screening requests, where each instance represents a bulk/facet/adsorbate combination for catalysis screening. For both modes, the real-time endpoint is the primary and recommended invocation path. Batch transform is possible and uses the same JSON schema.
