These models help accelerate engineering workflows across industries including aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and semiconductor production.
According to PhysicsX CEO Jacomo Corbo, the collaboration delivers “the computational backbone required to scale physics AI” for challenging industrial applications. CoreWeave SVP Max Hjelm noted that the company’s infrastructure is specifically designed to meet the intensive computational requirements these models demand.
