WE PROVIDE PHYSICS-AWARE AGENTIC INTELLIGENCE

From Fusion Energy to Space Travel

Problem

  • Design and control of engineering systems require finding billions of parameters.
  • Industry still updates parameters one by one which is slow and expensive.
  • It gets even worse when each simulation takes hours, days, or even weeks.

Solution

  • Our physics-constraint solvers turns simulation into a control and design system.
  • We can optimize billions of parameters together per each run.
  • We deliver cloud computing support.

What Do We Offer

Physics-based AI Agent

Our AI agents combined with specialized LLM and trusted code base maps problem descriptions to a differentiable design engine rather than a static simulation software!

Fast Design Loops

Our design engine can optimize billions of parameters at the same time, achieving 10-1000x speedup that saves time and resources!

Fast Delivery

From concept to validation, we bridge research and manufacturing, and for the first time in the industry, we deliver a fully transparent, customizable, and extensible design engine not a ridiculous black box!

COST Saving

Assume we want to optimize 1 billion parameters in the magnet design of a fusion device or geometry of a space travel vehicle, and each simulation run takes 1 hour on an NVIDIA A100 40GB. Following is the approximate breakdown of GPU hours and costs for different approaches in each iteration of engineering design cycle:

Approach Compute Plan GPU Hours Cost in USD Update Strategy
Brute force 1b simulations x 1h each 1,000,000,000 ~$1,290,000,000 One parameter at a time
Data-driven 100k simulations + 500 epochs 100,500 ~$129,645 Train surrogate, then optimize
Differentiable programming
GradusX
500 differentiable runs 500 ~$645 Update of all parameters together

Illustrative estimate using $1.29 per GPU-hour (NVIDIA A100 SXM 40GB on Lambda Cloud, pricing effective February 23, 2026). For the data-driven row, training is approximated as 1 GPU-hour per epoch.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Swiss Plasma Center: ORB5X

GradusX is delivering a high-performance and portable ORB5X codebase to the Swiss Plasma Center, enabling more efficient simulation workflows for Tokamak research and design. The original ORB5 codes is a global, gyrokinetic, electromagnetic, multi-species code based on a Lagrangian variational description, discretized with a particle representation of the distribution functions and a finite element representation of the fields.
