We discuss some recent progress in obtaining the exact spectrum of the MSSM from a generalized embedding of the heterotic string. Utilizing current developments in algebraic geometry, especially algorithmic, we search through the landscape of vector bundles over Calabi-Yau manifolds for a special corner wherein such exact models may be found.
