Catalysis is entering a fourth plus data-driven paradigm in which large models complement theory and experiment. The cover links three pillars: catalysis databases, universal machine-learning interatomic potentials that reproduce potential energy surfaces with near density functional theory accuracy at scale, and large language models that extract and connect catalytic concepts from literature. Together, large models compress the path from concept to computation and accelerate the discovery of next-generation catalysts.
