contents Machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLPs) are fast, data-driven surrogate models of atomistic systems' potential energy surfaces that can accelerate ab-initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations by several orders of magnitude. The performance of MLPs is commonly measured as the prediction error in energies and forces on data not used in their training. While low prediction errors on a test set are necessary, they do not guarantee good performance in MD simulations. The latter requires physically motivated performance measures obtained from running accelerated simulations. However, the adoption of such measures has been limited by the effort and domain knowledge required to calculate and interpret them. To overcome this limitation, we present a benchmark that automatically quantifies the performance of MLPs in MD simulations of a liquid-liquid phase transition in hydrogen under pressure, a challenging benchmark system. The benchmark's h-llpt-24 dataset provides reference geometries, energies, forces, and stresses from density functional theory MD simulations at different temperatures and mass densities. The benchmark's Python code automatically runs MLP-accelerated MD simulations and calculates, quantitatively compares and visualizes pressures, stable molecular fractions, diffusion coefficients, and radial distribution functions. Employing this benchmark, we show that several state-of-the-art MLPs fail to reproduce the liquid-liquid phase transition.
