NoteThe source directly confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) GNoME is correctly identified as Graph Networks for Materials Exploration; (2) the number of newly discovered stable structures is stated as 381,000 (the claim says '380,000', which is within rounding tolerance of 381,000); (3) the expansion is described as 'almost an order of magnitude' or 'order-of-magnitude expansion' from previous work; (4) the previous baseline was ~48,000 stable crystals (381,000 ÷ 48,000 ≈ 7.9x, which is indeed roughly 10x); (5) the publication is Merchant et al., Nature 2023. The slight difference between 380,000 and 381,000 is negligible rounding variation.
