The fundamental improvements introduced in atomate2 have facilitated the expansion of the software's scope to encompass a broader array of calculators, including machinelearning based calculators, and to include a larger set of workflows. The framework also allows for workflows that employ a mix of different calculators, which may become more commonplace in the future as MLIPs are used prior to accurate physics-based simulations.A combination of DFT and MLIP calculators within a single workflow has already been used to automatically train MLIPs through random structure searches. We expect that the capabilities of atomate2 will continue to improve over time. Such potential improvements could simply be the expansion of Calculators and workflows, or may additionally include usability improvements such as calculation dashboards and materials design and submission frameworks. As the user community for atomistic and electronic structure calculations grows and calculation methods continue to evolve, software tools must also adapt to meet the changing needs of this community. The improvements implemented in atomate2 represent a path forward to adapting to and accommodating these changes.
