Research preview. Opifex is under rapid iteration and the API will change while we iterate toward v1.0. What that means concretely:

Area Status Impact
API 🔄 Unstable Breaking changes are expected. Public interfaces may change without deprecation warnings. Pin to specific commits if stability is required.
Tests 🔄 In Flux Test suite is being expanded. Some tests may fail or be skipped. Coverage metrics are improving but not yet full.
Documentation 🔄 Evolving Docs may not reflect current implementation. Code examples might be outdated. Refer to source code and tests for accurate usage.

Pin a version if you need stability, and do not put it in production yet. For research and experimentation it is ready to use today, with the understanding that APIs will evolve.

This is public this early on purpose. Issues, questions and pull requests genuinely steer what gets built next, and a star tells us which layer to push on.


A JAX-native platform for scientific machine learning, built for unified excellence, probabilistic-first design, and high performance.

🎯 Core Vision

  • 🔬 Unified Excellence: Single platform supporting all major Opifex paradigms with mathematical clarity
  • 📊 Probabilistic-First: Built-in uncertainty quantification treating all computation as Bayesian inference
  • ⚡ High Performance: Optimized for speed with JAX transformations and GPU acceleration
  • 🏗️ Production-Oriented: Designed with benchmarking and deployment tools for future production use
  • 🤝 Community-Driven: Open patterns for education, research collaboration, and industrial adoption

✨ Key Features

  • Neural Operators: FNO, DeepONet, SFNO, U-FNO, UNO, TFNO, GNO, PINO, Local FNO, DISCO, and more (26 architectures)
  • Physics-Informed Neural Networks: Standard PINNs plus domain decomposition (FBPINN, XPINN, CPINN)
  • Atomistic Potentials: E(3)-equivariant SchNet, PaiNN, and NequIP backbones (with MACE-style higher body-order via symmetric contraction), energy/forces/stress heads, and an ASE calculator
  • Quantum Chemistry: Differentiable Kohn-Sham DFT, neural exchange-correlation functionals, variational Monte Carlo, and equivariant Hamiltonian prediction (QH9)
  • Equivariant Core: Native E(3) algebra - irreps, Clebsch-Gordan, Wigner-D, and spherical harmonics
  • Uncertainty Quantification: Conformal prediction, calibration, Gaussian processes, Bayesian quadrature, probabilistic numerics, simulation-based inference, and a broad adapter suite (ensembles, last-layer, SNGP, evidential)
  • Equation Discovery: SINDy, Ensemble SINDy, Weak SINDy, and Bayesian SINDy
  • Field Operations: JAX-native differential operators, advection, and pressure projection on structured grids
  • Data Loading: JAX-native pipelines for PDEBench tensors and VTK unstructured meshes on the datarax Source/Pipeline contract
  • Advanced Training: NTK analysis, GradNorm loss balancing, adaptive sampling (RAR-D)
  • Optimization: Learn-to-optimize, meta-optimization (MAML/Reptile), and second-order methods
  • Unified SciML Solvers: Standardized protocol for PINNs, Neural Operators, and Hybrid solvers
  • 59 Working Examples: Full coverage from getting started to advanced research workflows

📚 Basic Usage

Fourier Neural Operator (FNO)

import jax
from flax import nnx
from opifex.neural.operators.fno import FourierNeuralOperator

# Create FNO for learning PDE solution operators
rngs = nnx.Rngs(jax.random.PRNGKey(0))

fno = FourierNeuralOperator(
    in_channels=1,
    out_channels=1,
    hidden_channels=32,
    modes=12,
    num_layers=4,
    rngs=rngs,
)

# Input: (batch, channels, *spatial_dims)
x = jax.random.normal(jax.random.PRNGKey(1), (4, 1, 64, 64))
y = fno(x)
print(f"FNO: {x.shape} -> {y.shape}")  # (4, 1, 64, 64) -> (4, 1, 64, 64)

Deep Operator Network (DeepONet)

import jax
from flax import nnx
from opifex.neural.operators.deeponet import DeepONet

# Create DeepONet for function-to-function mapping
rngs = nnx.Rngs(jax.random.PRNGKey(0))

deeponet = DeepONet(
    branch_sizes=[100, 64, 64, 32],  # 100 sensor locations
    trunk_sizes=[2, 64, 64, 32],     # 2D output coordinates
    activation="gelu",
    rngs=rngs,
)

# Branch input: function values at sensors (batch, num_sensors)
# Trunk input: evaluation coordinates (batch, n_locations, coord_dim)
branch_input = jax.random.normal(jax.random.PRNGKey(1), (8, 100))
trunk_input = jax.random.uniform(jax.random.PRNGKey(2), (8, 50, 2))  # 50 eval points

output = deeponet(branch_input, trunk_input)
print(f"DeepONet output: {output.shape}")  # (8, 50)

Equation Discovery (SINDy)

import jax.numpy as jnp
from opifex.discovery.sindy import SINDy, SINDyConfig

# Generate Lorenz trajectory (σ=10, ρ=28, β=8/3) with RK4
def lorenz(state, sigma=10.0, rho=28.0, beta=8.0 / 3.0):
    x, y, z = state
    return jnp.array([sigma * (y - x), x * (rho - z) - y, x * y - beta * z])

dt, state = 0.001, jnp.array([1.0, 1.0, 1.0])
trajectory, derivatives = [state], [lorenz(state)]
for _ in range(10000):
    k1 = lorenz(state)
    k2 = lorenz(state + 0.5 * dt * k1)
    k3 = lorenz(state + 0.5 * dt * k2)
    k4 = lorenz(state + dt * k3)
    state = state + (dt / 6.0) * (k1 + 2 * k2 + 2 * k3 + k4)
    trajectory.append(state)
    derivatives.append(lorenz(state))

# Discover governing equations from data
model = SINDy(SINDyConfig(polynomial_degree=2, threshold=0.3))
model.fit(jnp.stack(trajectory), jnp.stack(derivatives))

for eq in model.equations(["x", "y", "z"]):
    print(eq)
# dx/dt = -9.999 x + 10.000 y            (true: -10 x + 10 y)
# dy/dt = 28.000 x + -1.000 y + -1.000 x z  (true: 28 x - y - x z)
# dz/dt = -2.667 z + 1.000 x y            (true: -8/3 z + x y)
