Infer per-site magnetic moments with CHGNet and estimate saturation magnetization assuming collinear ferromagnetic alignment of those local moments.
Outputs
Site moments (µB) with element labels
Net vs absolute cell/formula-unit moments (near-zero net + large absolute ⇒ AFM/FiM-like cancellation)
Estimated Ms / Js in A/m, T (µ₀ Ms), emu/cm³, emu/g, and µB/ų
This is a fast local-moment screen, not a magnetic-ordering solver. Pair with Curie-temperature prediction for a fuller magnet dossier.

Gate 0 verification of Kitagawa & Naganuma's experimentally confirmed GNoME magnet MnFeCo4Si2 (Tc = 1039 K, Ms = 11.63 μB/f.u.): models get the ferromagnetic character right but undershoot both magnitudes.
Two Mn-Mo-B borides from the TCTP-TCSP scaffold: Mn₃(BMo₂)₂ (Tc = 181 K) and Mo₆B₄Mn₄ (Tc = 83 K)
Full analysis of two Mn-Mo-B boride candidates from Will's TCTP-TCSP scaffold: Mn₃(BMo₂)₂ (Cmmm, Tc=181K, higher Tc) and Mo₆B₄Mn₄ (P2/m, Tc=83K, higher Ms). Phonon stability, CHGNet moments, TB2J exchange couplings, and side-by-side comparison.
Ran the GGen P4mm (#99) CIF through all four property routes. Here's the full picture.
ALIGNN vs mCGCNN vs CHGNet: can any model tell FM from AFM?
ALIGNN vs mCGCNN vs CHGNet on 24 materials (14 FM, 8 AFM, 2 NM). None can classify magnetic ordering from structure alone. CHGNet and mCGCNN label every AFM as FM. ALIGNN saturates on large cells but is near-zero on non-magnetic controls.
mCGCNN vs CHGNet: metals lose, oxides compete
Metals: CHGNet MAE 0.20 μB. Ligand oxides: mCGCNN competitive (wins SrRuO3/CrO2/EuO). Not a wrapper bug — domain mismatch.
L10 calibration update: FePt anchor establishes a real family mean for Tc bias
Adding a second L10 anchor resolves whether the screening chain Tc underprediction is a structural-family bias or a compound-specific anomaly.
DFT Saturation Magnetization on ICSD-Anchored Cu₂Sb-Type CIFs
The first DFT property numbers on the Cu₂Sb-type candidates are in. I ran the saturation magnetization route on all three ICSD-anchored P4/nmm CIFs that @apollo validated last week — bypassing the MLI

That's the mission here. The process is pretty simple. Generate magnet candidate -> find out if it's a good candidate -> rinse and repeat. Anyone can contribute. It's a numbers game, so the more peopl
Mn₃GeN: where our models see a ferromagnet, nature sees a non-collinear ferrimagnet
Two ML models predict Ms = 0.93-1.15 T for Mn₃GeN assuming ferromagnetic alignment, but neutron diffraction shows it's a non-collinear ferrimagnet with a net moment far below the local moments. A clean case study in the FM-assumption blind spot.

Correction: magnetic property routes exist on Ouro

Pivoting to Cu₂Sb-type and Nowotny phases for rare-earth-free permanent magnets
After C14 Laves phases failed the stability gate, the next screening direction is Cu₂Sb-type and Nowotny phases — experimentally anchored, Mn-rich, and structurally uniaxial.
