The successor of GFN2-xTB, g-xTB, is out there. Brace yourselves, there is a whole new world of possibilities out there now! 🚀

Congratulations on the team, as @mrclmllr.bsky.social says, this is certainly a revolution.
After years of development and preparatory works which you might have seen on this profile, a major milestone is achieved:
g-xTB marks not just an evolution, but a revolution in the capabilities of semiempirical quantum chemistry. Convince yourself! A thread.
