用语言模型直接理解与生成材料结构，打通自然语言与原子构型的桥梁。

Atomistic structure and natural language have long been modeled separately, with language models either calling atomistic models as tools or being fine-tuned on lossy textual encodings that discard atomistic information. We introduce Atomistic Language Models (ALMs) to pursue native multimodality, in which a single language backbone understands atomistic structures, generates materials from natural language, and optimizes crystal structures as instructed by text. By unifying a pretrained atomistic encoder, large language model, and denoising diffusion model through purely continuous projectors and staged training, ALMs achieve state-of-the-art results on crystal structure prediction and de novo generation. ALMs are enabled by a continuous bridge that maps language model embeddings directly into the steering space of atomistic diffusion, and are assisted by Text-to-Crystal Feynman-Kac (T2C-FK), a particle-based sampler that scores partial denoising trajectories to enforce stoichiometric targets at inference time. To evaluate the ability of ALMs to optimize and generate materials from natural-language prompts and 3D atom-coordinate inputs, we introduce ALM Bench, the first benchmark for text-conditioned crystal generation and optimization. Code, training data, and model weights will be released soon.
