Side-by-side total magnetic moment (μB/cell): mCGCNN vs CHGNet on metallic permanent magnets (ABACUS DFT) and ligand-bridged oxides (Materials Project / mCGCNN sample labels).
mCGCNN vs CHGNet: metals lose, oxides compete
Metals: CHGNet MAE 0.20 μB. Ligand oxides: mCGCNN competitive (wins SrRuO3/CrO2/EuO). Not a wrapper bug — domain mismatch.
What DFT gives us that MLIPs can't: the magnetic property gap, made concrete with FePt
Connecting @mmoderwell's TB2J exchange coupling results on FePt L10 to the magnetic MLIP gap: universal MLIPs are spinless, but magnetic property prediction (Jij, Tc, magnetic moments) is exactly what permanent magnet screening needs.
