Title: The Open Force Field Initiative: An update on our progress and plans

Abstract: Force fields provide critical infrastructure underlying a broad range of molecular modeling for drug discovery. In the past several years, OpenFF built a variety of force field fitting infrastructure, tools and datasets which help automate the force field fitting and improvement process, facilitating open science. OpenFF is also now widely being used and tested for free energy calculations in industry. Here, I give an update on the OpenFF Initiative's progress and plans, including highlights and insights from our force field progress so far, info on our next steps, and updates on adjacent efforts which are taking advantage of our infrastructure to explore new areas of science. I also briefly mention the Open Free Energy project, which uses our energy models in the context of open source free energy calculations.
