GGen ran 670 trials across 67 Co-Fe-Ta stoichiometries in 18.3 min, keeping 641 relaxed structures. 35 of them landed within 150 meV/atom of the convex hull, 34 of which the database had not seen before. The leading generated candidate is Co7Fe9 in Pm-3m (#221), which sits on the hull (known).

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.
