What happened?

chgnet==0.3.8 seems to call deprecated pymatgen Elementbase and breaks the test from 2025-01-01. See pytest on mlip-arena.

I tried to upgrade to chgnet==0.4.0 but found it too restrictive on torch>=2.4.1 and becomes incompatible with other packages. Is it possible to loosen the version pin on pytorch?

the problem arises from deprecated is_rare_earth_meal property in pymatgen ElementBase. Should be fixed after its removal. materialsproject/pymatgen#4243
