The d-dimensional simplicial, terminal, and reflexive polytopes with at least
3d-2 vertices are classified. In particular, it turns out that all of them
are smooth Fano polytopes. This improves on previous results of (Casagrande,
2006) and (Øbro, 2008). Smooth Fano polytopes play a role in algebraic
geometry and mathematical physics.
