We compare Vendi sampling against an uncoupled replica method with overdamped Langevin dynamics to showcase the added benefit of enforcing a repulsive force through the Vendi Score. We refer to this baseline as Replica sampling in the rest of the paper. We report free energy profiles on two model systems, the Prinz potential and the double well, and two molecular systems, Alanine dipeptide in vacuum and Chignolin in implicit solvent. In all cases we found Vendi sampling converges faster and explores energy surfaces better than Replica sampling.
