Zenithon raises $10M for AI models simulating extreme physics

Zenithon, a UK-based AI startup, has raised $10 million to build AI models that predict how complicated physical systems behave in areas like fusion energy, rockets, and chip manufacturing. Their goal: let engineers test millions of design ideas using AI, instead of waiting days for physical simulations. The team includes researchers credited with breakthroughs in physics-based machine learning, and the money will go to hiring and computing resources.

• $10 million seed funding round
• AI models focus on fusion, rockets, semiconductor design
• Aims to simulate a million designs as fast as one traditional run
• Founders include leaders from top machine learning labs
• Funding will support hiring and cloud compute expansion
