[HELIOS](https://github.com/exoclime/HELIOS) [@malik_helios_2017] is a popular atmosphere model similar to AGNI, but it depends on an Nvidia GPU in order to perform radiative transfer calculations. Whilst this makes each calculation fast, it also means that HELIOS cannot be used on platforms without an Nvidia GPU or with limited resources. GENESIS [@piette_rocky_2023] has been applied to lava planet atmospheres but is closed-source and not publicly available. [Exo_k](https://perso.astrophy.u-bordeaux.fr/~jleconte/exo_k-doc/index.html) [@selsis_cool_2023] is open source and written in pure Python, but not designed to be coupled with an interior evolution model. These codes have been used to model the atmospheres of static non-evolving planets, while AGNI stands out as being the only open source code currently integrated into a comprehensive interior-atmosphere evolution framework like PROTEUS. No other models of lava planet atmospheres implement a real-gas equation of state.
