CERN and Mistral plan a foundation model for collider physicsThe planned model would target particle reconstruction and identification using billions of simulated collider events. CERN holds roughly one exabyte of experimental data and expects collision volumes to increase substantially after the Large Hadron Collider upgrade.→Physical Superintelligence launches $58 million physics-discovery labThe company launched with $58 million in seed funding led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures and described a system called Emmy that builds world models, decomposes research problems into hypotheses and tests them against simulations. Its first commercial focus is optimising terrestrial and orbital AI data centres, while broader claims about discovering new physics remain unverified.→Visko opens Orbis, a real-time interactive world modelVisko announced a $10 million pre-seed round and public access to Orbis, a model that continuously generates interactive video rather than producing a fixed clip. The company reports 4K output at 24 frames per second, persistent memory and physics-grounded generation, but the performance claims have not yet been independently established.→Industrial automation challenge demands physics-grounded reasoningThe Industrial Automation Challenge requires models to use structured industrial context, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, to produce causal maintenance narratives. It includes both native-model reasoning and agentic tool-augmented tracks.→
