MLIP School 2026 — Dataset craft for machine-learned interatomic potentials
You will build a silicon dataset from scratch, fit ACE potentials, and learn why a low RMSE can still be a bad potential.

Paste it into the notebook's API key field, and use the same key for all four exercises — E2, E3 and C resume the potential you fit in E1, and models belong to the key that fitted them.
Work through the exercises in order: E1, E2, E3, then C.
