Summary

  • add the DeePMD PyTorch-exportable training backend, with pt-expt as an alias
  • support DPA4 export through dp --pt freeze to pt2
  • support DPA4C training and graph export through dp --pt-expt, including optional compression
  • keep training checkpoints separate from frozen model artifacts
  • run target-specific pt2 export on model-deviation machine/resources
  • forward all committee pt2 models and add the required LAMMPS atom map before read_data/read_restart
  • preserve the TensorFlow/pb default and existing PyTorch/JAX behavior

Configuration

DPA4:

"train_backend": "pytorch",
"model_format": "pt2",
"default_training_param": {
  "model": {"type": "dpa4"}
}

DPA4C:

"train_backend": "pytorch-exportable",
"model_format": "pt2",
"dp_compress": true,
"default_training_param": {
  "model": {"descriptor": {"type": "dpa4c"}}
}

Freeze and export intentionally use the same backend as training. Regular PyTorch and PyTorch-exportable checkpoints are backend-specific; this PR does not advertise cross-backend checkpoint conversion. The default train_backend remains tensorflow.

AOTInductor pt2 artifacts are exported in a separate submission using model_devi_machine and model_devi_resources so compilation occurs on the deployment target.

Fixes #1925.

Validation

  • relevant backend, LAMMPS-input, and model-deviation regression tests
  • pre-commit checks

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change separates DeePMD training and deployment formats. It adds PT2 export submissions, checkpoint-based artifact forwarding, PT2 LAMMPS validation, updated configuration documentation, and regression tests.

Changes

DeepMD PT2 support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend configuration contracts
doc/run/param.rst, dpgen/generator/arginfo.py
Documents backend-specific formats, PT2 defaults, checkpoint suffixes, export requirements, and PTE restrictions. Adds model_format and removes model_devi_backend.
Backend resolution and validation
dpgen/generator/run.py
Derives deployment format and suffixes from the training backend. Validates PT2 and PTE usage, versions, initialization models, and compression settings.
Training and export submission flow
dpgen/generator/run.py, tests/generator/test_deepmd_backend.py
Separates PT2 freezing and compression from training. Routes export work to model-deviation resources and forwards checkpoints and deployment artifacts. Updates restart, finetuning, compression, and linking behavior.
PT2 LAMMPS integration and regression coverage
dpgen/generator/lib/lammps.py, tests/generator/test_lammps.py, tests/generator/test_make_md.py
Enables atom_modify map yes for PT2 models and validates its position before input reads. Adds coverage for standard, PIMD, and model-deviation templates.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bbdb2

When PyTorch-exportable LAMMPS jobs omit model_format, the resolved PT2 path can skip required atom-map validation and generate jobs that fail at runtime; PT2 model-deviation coverage also does not verify Kokkos flag propagation. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and regression-coverage issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Thanks for adding .pt2 support.

For Kokkos model deviation using graph .pt2 models, including DPA4C, the generated LAMMPS input requires an atom map. Could DP-GEN add atom_modify map yes before read_data or read_restart whenever model_format is set to pt2?

Keep Kokkos command coverage in the model-deviation regression test.

At Line 209, the fixture now uses lmp, and the previous assertion for -k on g 1 -sf kk is removed. The test can now pass even if Kokkos execution flags are lost from the PT2 model-deviation command. Keep a Kokkos command fixture or add a separate propagation assertion; the submission is patched, so this does not require running LAMMPS.

Good point! Graph .pt2 models require the LAMMPS atom map, and atom_modify map yes must be set before read_data or read_restart. I’ve added this for generated inputs whenever model_format is pt2, while preserving the existing PIMD behavior without emitting the command twice. Tests now cover command ordering, the unchanged non-.pt2 default, and the .pt2 + PIMD case.

Requesting changes because the documented PyTorch-to-exportable workflow fails against a real DeePMD-kit 3.2 DPA4 checkpoint, and the deployment artifact handling has additional LAMMPS/hardware compatibility gaps. The new unit tests and ruff checks pass, but they mock submission and therefore do not exercise these integration boundaries.

[P1] This allowed cross-backend combination is not supported by DeePMD-kit 3.2. dp --pt-expt freeze expects a checkpoint produced by dp --pt-expt train; a regular dp --pt checkpoint uses a different state-dict dialect. I reproduced the documented configuration with a minimal real DPA4 checkpoint: freeze exits 1 with missing .w and unexpected .matrix keys, producing no .pt2. Please use a supported conversion/export path (for example the regular PyTorch DPA4 .pt2 freeze path, or a frozen-model backend conversion) or reject this combination. Please also add an end-to-end checkpoint/export test—the current test only verifies the generated command string.

Fixed in bbdb223. Cross-backend checkpoint export has been removed: DPA4 now trains and freezes with dp --pt, while DPA4C trains and freezes with dp --pt-expt. The submission tests assert the exact same-backend commands.

[P1] .pte cannot be consumed by the LAMMPS model-deviation path. DeePMD-kit’s C++ backend dispatch recognizes .pt2 for pytorch-exportable and raises Unsupported model file format for .pte, yet DP-GEN forwards this default artifact to pair_style deepmd. Consequently, train_backend=pytorch-exportable with the default LAMMPS engine and omitted model_format trains successfully but every exploration task fails. Please default deployment to pt2 for LAMMPS, or reject/document .pte unless the selected model-deviation engine can load it.

[P1] This compiles the AOTInductor .pt2 artifact inside the training submission, using train_machine/train_resources. These archives are not portable across GPU models, while DP-GEN explicitly supports a different model_devi_machine; a CPU training node or a different training GPU can therefore produce an artifact that the Kokkos exploration node cannot load. Please make export use an explicitly configured deployment machine/resources compatible with model deviation (or validate and clearly constrain the two environments) instead of unconditionally compiling on the training worker.

Fixed in bbdb223. For .pt2, the training submission now returns the checkpoint, then a separate export submission performs freeze/compress with model_devi_machine and model_devi_resources before model deviation starts. The documentation also states that these resources must select the deployment-compatible hardware/software target.

[P2] This only fixes native inputs built by make_lammps_input. The model_devi_jobs[].template path copies and revises the user template via _make_model_devi_revmat and never calls this function, so a .pt2 template without its own atom_modify map yes still reaches LAMMPS and fails. Please insert or validate the command before read_data/read_restart in the template workflow too, and cover that path with a test.

The current head fixes the previously reported cross-backend export, .pte/LAMMPS, deployment-hardware, and custom-template issues, and the current GitHub Actions/status checks are green. One default-path correctness issue remains: a PyTorch-exportable LAMMPS configuration that omits model_format resolves to .pt2, but native generated LAMMPS inputs still test only the raw jdata["model_format"], so they omit the required atom map. This makes the newly supported default configuration fail at runtime.

[P1] The resolved default PT2 path still misses atom mapping in native generated inputs. _get_model_backend_config() defaults train_backend="pytorch-exportable" with LAMMPS to pt2 when model_format is omitted, but this condition checks only the raw jdata.get("model_format"). The native model-deviation path passes that unchanged jdata into make_lammps_input, so the default configuration emits no atom_modify map yes; graph .pt2 models then fail when LAMMPS needs the atom map. Please key this on the resolved deployment format (for example by passing a resolved flag/format into this function, or checking the resolved suffix before generation) and add a native-generation regression test with omitted model_format. The custom-template path now validates the resolved default, but this generated-input path still does not.

The native generation path now passes the resolved deployment format derived from suffix into make_lammps_input, so an omitted model_format under pytorch-exportable + LAMMPS still emits atom_modify map yes. I added a native-generation integration test that omits model_format and verifies the atom map is emitted exactly once before read_data. The related test set passes (29 tests plus 10 subtests).

Follow-up audit against the safeguards added to DPGEN2 PR #373 is included in 8c52d30:

  • validate default_training_param against the selected family/backend: DPA4 requires pytorch; DPA4C requires pytorch-exportable; mixed DPA4/DPA4C branches are rejected
  • validate backend-specific acceleration-key placement (model.use_compile / model.enable_tf32 for DPA4; training.enable_compile / training.enable_tf32 for DPA4C) without injecting numerical policy
  • harden PT2 custom-template validation for quoted/conditional read_data and read_restart commands, and reject templates with no read command
  • make Calypso discover and forward the resolved model suffix instead of hard-coding graph*pb, so permitted .pte/.pt2 configurations do not lose their models
  • add a four-model PT2 export regression and document complete accelerated templates

Validation:

  • tests.generator.test_deepmd_backend: 21 passed
  • tests.generator.test_lammps + tests.generator.test_make_md: 36 passed
  • Ruff, git diff --check, and compileall passed.

A true DeePMD checkpoint→PT2 integration test remains environment-dependent and is not added to the standard CPU unit suite; the production path continues to export on model-deviation resources before fan-out.

APPROVE. I inspected the complete backend/configuration/export diff and the focused backend/LAMMPS tests. The training-checkpoint suffix is kept separate from the deployment format, pt2 export is moved onto model-deviation resources, template atom-map requirements are validated, and the full CI matrix is green. I found no blocking correctness, regression, security, or API issue.

Blocking finding attached inline. The current validation admits a deployment configuration that the selected DeepMD freezer cannot produce, so the training/export workflow can finish training and then fail while collecting the expected model artifact.

P1: Reject regular-PyTorch pt2 unless the training template is DPA4/SeZM. This early return means {"train_backend": "pytorch", "model_format": "pt2"} is accepted even when no DPA4 family is present (the new test explicitly exercises that case). DeepMD's dp --pt freeze only routes DPA4/SeZM checkpoints to the AOTInductor .pt2 exporter; an ordinary PyTorch model is frozen as .pth. DP-GEN nevertheless asks the export submission to return frozen_model.pt2, so otherwise-valid non-DPA4 inputs fail after training with a missing backward file.

Fixed in eb9aedd by resolving model_devi_backend independently, using its flag for freeze/compress, and rejecting ordinary PyTorch pt2 without DPA4/SeZM. Validation: DeepMD backend tests passed (24 tests), and Ruff checks passed.

Fixed in 2c633cc. Regular PyTorch pt2 is now rejected unless default_training_param identifies DPA4/SeZM, and model.type=SeZM is recognized explicitly. The affected export, compression, and version tests now use real DPA4 templates.

This function is documented as resolving the deployment backend, and the PR body advertises model_devi_backend, but it always reuses train_backend. The export submission also reuses train_command, including its training-backend flag, so a train_backend: pytorch / model_devi_backend: pytorch-exportable configuration still freezes with dp --pt instead of dp --pt-expt. Resolve and validate the deployment backend independently, expose it in arginfo, and build export commands with its flag.

Thanks for the review. I reviewed DeePMD-kit master at commit b32f74c81ff9b218c2bbfd2942530f331e1b5c00: deepmodeling/deepmd-kit@b32f74c

The basis for keeping freeze on the training backend is:

  1. The PT-exportable freeze implementation at deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py lines 567-607 loads the checkpoint with torch.load, constructs a PT-exportable model and ModelWrapper, and calls wrapper.load_state_dict(state_dict) directly. There is no regular-PT checkpoint conversion in this CLI path:
    https://github.com/deepmodeling/deepmd-kit/blob/b32f74c81ff9b218c2bbfd2942530f331e1b5c00/deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py#L567-L607

  2. The official PT-to-PT-exportable DPA4 interoperability test uses a different conversion path. At source/tests/pt_expt/infer/test_dpa4_deep_eval.py lines 127-131, it calls pt_model.serialize() and passes that serialized model to deserialize_to_file / BaseModel.deserialize:
    https://github.com/deepmodeling/deepmd-kit/blob/b32f74c81ff9b218c2bbfd2942530f331e1b5c00/source/tests/pt_expt/infer/test_dpa4_deep_eval.py#L127-L131

  3. The regular PyTorch freeze implementation already detects DPA4/SeZM checkpoints and routes them to freeze_sezm_to_pt2 at deepmd/pt/entrypoints/main.py lines 481-490:
    https://github.com/deepmodeling/deepmd-kit/blob/b32f74c81ff9b218c2bbfd2942530f331e1b5c00/deepmd/pt/entrypoints/main.py#L481-L490

  4. The same commit documents DPA4 with dp --pt freeze at doc/model/dpa4.md line 468, and DPA4C with dp --pt-expt train/freeze/compress at doc/model/dpa4c.md lines 198-200:
    https://github.com/deepmodeling/deepmd-kit/blob/b32f74c81ff9b218c2bbfd2942530f331e1b5c00/doc/model/dpa4.md#L468
    https://github.com/deepmodeling/deepmd-kit/blob/b32f74c81ff9b218c2bbfd2942530f331e1b5c00/doc/model/dpa4c.md#L198-L200

Therefore, changing only the command from dp --pt to dp --pt-expt does not implement the tested serialize/deserialize conversion. Commit eb9aedd only asserted the generated command string and did not validate checkpoint loading. Commits 5368e55 and 2c633cc correct this: DPA4 uses dp --pt for train/freeze, DPA4C uses dp --pt-expt for train/freeze, ordinary non-DPA4/SeZM PyTorch pt2 is rejected, and target-specific export still runs on model-deviation resources.

Corrected in 5368e55 and 2c633cc. The command-only cross-backend implementation was reverted; freeze/export now stays on the training backend, the PR description no longer advertises model_devi_backend, and ordinary non-DPA4/SeZM PyTorch pt2 is rejected. DPA4 uses dp --pt for train/freeze; DPA4C uses dp --pt-expt for train/freeze.

All review findings were addressed in eb9aedd. The deployment backend now controls export commands independently, regular PyTorch pt2 is validated against DPA4/SeZM, the 24 focused backend tests pass, and the Python 3.9/3.12 CI builds pass.

Reviewed the latest live head 2c633cc, including backend/model-format validation, checkpoint versus exported-model handling, separate pt2 export submissions, LAMMPS atom-map requirements, CALYPSO suffix propagation, focused tests, and successful CI. I found no blocking correctness or compatibility issue and approve this head.

Changes requested at the current live head 2c633cc. The latest commits correctly enforce same-backend PT2 export and the current CI is green, but the CALYPSO execution path still hard-codes a TensorFlow .pb model inside the optimization script, so the advertised DPA4/DPA4C formats cannot complete that supported engine path.

This now discovers and forwards graph*.pt2/graph*.pte, but the submitted calypso_run_opt.py still constructs DP(model="../graph.000.pb") unconditionally (line 115 of that script). A CALYPSO run using either new backend therefore receives only the new-suffix artifact and fails before structure optimization because graph.000.pb does not exist. Please pass the resolved model name/suffix into the optimization script (and use it there), with a regression test covering a non-.pb CALYPSO submission.

Fixed in d481bfb. CALYPSO optimization submissions now pass the first resolved committee model as --model ../graph.000., and calypso_run_opt.py uses that argument while retaining ../graph.000.pb as its backward-compatible default. The regression test covers a graph.000.pt2 submission command. Validation: 10 focused backend/CALYPSO tests passed and all pre-commit hooks passed.

The previous CALYPSO backend blocker is resolved: CALYPSO now selects the model suffix from the configured DeepMD backend and passes the selected model into the optimizer instead of hard-coding graph.000.pb. I reviewed the current diff and supporting repository context, including the backend abstraction, LAMMPS/model-deviation paths, CALYPSO integration, documentation, tests, existing review threads/comments, and CI. The added coverage exercises TensorFlow, PyTorch, PyTorch-exportable, DPA/pt2 suffix handling, LAMMPS model arguments, and CALYPSO .pt2/.pte command paths. I found no remaining high-confidence functional, compatibility, or safety blocker. The Python package workflow and current-head checks are passing.
