Level 3 · Checked against existing evidence
StoneWise publishes HEAD, an open-source tool that flags implausible atoms and over-strained bonds in AI-generated 3D molecules at near-quantum accuracy
As generative models pour out candidate 3D molecules, telling a physically sensible one from a distorted one is the bottleneck, and the usual checks are either fast-but-crude geometry rules or slow, inaccurate mechanics energies. HEAD aims for quantum-chemistry-level judgement at a speed that can screen large batches, and it separates two faults a single score blurs together: an atom sitting in an impossible spot, and a bond twisted into a high-energy pose. Being open source, it lets other groups hold generated molecules to the same bar.
