To meet the increasing demand of quantum chemistry calculations in data-driven chemical research, the collaboration between industrial stakeholders and the quantum chemistry community has led to the development of GPU4PySCF, a GPU-accelerated Python package. This open-source project is accessible via its public GitHub repository. This paper outlines the primary features, innovations, and advantages of this package. When performing Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on modern GPU platforms, GPU4PySCF delivers 30 times speedup over a 32-core CPU node, resulting in approximately 90% cost savings for most DFT tasks. The performance advantages and productivity improvements have been found in multiple industrial applications, such as generating potential energy surfaces, analyzing molecular properties, calculating solvation free energy, identifying chemical reactions in lithium-ion batteries, and accelerating neural-network methods. To make the package easy to extend and integrate with other Python packages, it is designed with PySCF-compatible interfaces and Pythonic implementations. This design choice enhances its coordination with the Python ecosystem.
