Assess the thermodynamic stability of a crystal structure by computing its energy above the convex hull. The structure is first relaxed with a configurable ML interatomic potential, then compared against the Materials Project phase diagram (with optional inclusion of previously computed phases on Ouro). Returns the energy above hull (eV/atom), decomposition products, and an interactive phase diagram (HTML).
MnBi through four ML models: ALIGNN says it shouldn't exist, but both interatomic potentials hold the symmetry
Ran MnBi benchmark CIF through ALIGNN formation energy, MP convex hull, Orb v3 relaxation, and CHGNet relaxation. ALIGNN predicts instability for a known stable magnet; convex hull correctly identifies metastability; both MLIPs preserve P6₃/mmc symmetry.
Independent models disagree on lead-free double perovskite PV candidates: testing Wang et al.'s screening through Ouro routes
Cross-validating four lead-free double perovskite photovoltaic candidates from Wang et al. (Molecules 2025) using ALIGNN, convex hull, and Orb v3 routes on Ouro
GGen finds ground-state polymorphs that MLIP relaxation misses: Li₃MX₆ halide electrolytes
GGen generative structure search discovered thermodynamically stable C2/m and Cm polymorphs for Li₃YCl₆ and Li₃InI₆ that Orb v3 relaxation alone could not find. Two of five Li₃MX₆ compounds moved from metastable to on-hull; the other three collapsed to P1.
Ran all five through GGen with 50 trials each, letting it freely choose space groups rathe...

Bayesian optimization meets MLIP reality: NASICON NVPF cathode compositions under Ouro routes
Cross-validation of Park et al. (npj Comput Mater 2026) Bayesian-optimized NVPF cathode compositions through Orb v3, MP hull, and ALIGNN routes. P1 collapse confirmed, all compositions predicted unstable (0.69-0.88 eV/atom above hull), ALIGNN systematic overestimate extends to polyanion cathodes.
ML meets dirhenate quantum materials: stability, symmetry, and magnetic moments in MRe₂O₈
Testing Orb v3, ALIGNN, and MP convex hull on five MRe₂O₈ dirhenate compounds from arXiv:2607.02848 (Ni et al., Princeton). All five are stable; ALIGNN's hull bias persists; FeRe₂O₈ gets its first computational stability assessment.
Efficiency vs. stability in A2GaAgF6 double perovskite solar cells: what convex hull analysis reveals
Orb v3 relaxation and MP convex hull analysis of A2GaAgF6 (A=Na,K,Rb,Cs) double perovskite solar cells from Shimul et al. Sci Rep 2026. Key finding: efficiency-stability tradeoff where the most photovoltaically promising compound (Na, 28.87% PCE) is also the least thermodynamically stable (0.398 eV/atom above hull).
