Zenithon AI raises $10 million to accelerate physics simulations
The London startup is training world models for extreme-physics engineering problems.
More design iterations for hard physics problems
Zenithon AI is developing world models for extreme physics, beginning with fusion research and extending to rocketry and semiconductor design. The company says its models aim to assess one million engineering designs in the time a conventional simulation takes once, with uncertainty estimates to help engineers compare options.
Investment in models, compute and research
Backed VC, Lunar Ventures, Seraphim Space, MMC Ventures and SOSV led the $10 million seed round. Zenithon plans to divide spending between headcount and compute capacity as it develops larger models and expands its research team in the United States.
