What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Strong, open-source, genuinely SOTA generative substrate, but an independent peer-reviewed paper has shown its novelty claims can be artifacts of disorder misclassification — human/DFT verification is non-negotiable.
Next
Pilot MatterGen as a candidate-generator feeding a DFT + lab-synthesis verification loop; treat every 'novel' output as a hypothesis requiring crystallographic dedup against ICSD/training data before any claim.
