GGen ran 1,000 trials across 100 C-Co-Fe stoichiometries in 18.7 min, keeping 953 relaxed structures. 54 of them landed within 150 meV/atom of the convex hull, 51 of which the database had not seen before. The leading generated candidate is CoFe12 in C2/m (#12), which sits 0 meV/atom above the hull (new composition).

The shared GGen database carries the published structures for this system, so a generated phase whose formula is absent from them is a new composition, and one whose space group is absent is a new polymorph. Hull counts cover compounds only.
