SAN MATEO, Calif., March 16, 2026 – Luminary Cloud, the leading Physics AI platform, today announced it is the first Physics AI platform to adopt NVIDIA’s newest GeoTransolver model for CFD applications, delivering up to 10x greater prediction accuracy for its SHIFT models. This advancement enables engineering teams to model and test real-world product performance with significantly improved precision in seconds rather than weeks, eliminating traditional simulation costs and delays.
The company provides engineering teams with ready-to-use Physics AI models built on NVIDIA’s PhysicsNeMo framework. SHIFT offers high-precision, pre-trained models across aerospace, automotive, turbomachinery, marine, and space vehicle applications. By retraining its entire SHIFT model portfolio on the new GeoTransolver architecture, Luminary now offers immediate access to higher accuracy and performance.
Engineering teams have historically had to choose between speed and accuracy. By working with NVIDIA and adopting the GeoTransolver architecture across our SHIFT models, we are eliminating that compromise.
— Suds Menon, Chief Product Officer at Luminary
The integration delivers measurable advantages across the SHIFT model portfolio:
- External aerodynamics surrogates with maximum accuracy for aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial sectors
- Pre-trained SHIFT models for fluid dynamics, multiphysics, and structural mechanics
- Enhanced performance with 45% to 138% speedup on SHIFT-Wing using the newest PhysicsNeMo release
“AI-driven simulation is redefining how manufacturing industries design and deliver increasingly complex products,” said Tim Costa, VP and general manager of computational engineering at NVIDIA.
