Luminary adopts NVIDIA GeoTransolver AI model architecture, unlocking up to 10x greater accuracy in Physics AI. 03.16.2026 San Mateo, CA 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 its SHIFT models, Luminary Cloud, Inc. is 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. Customer Application: Sceye Sceye, an aerospace company developing stratospheric platforms for connectivity, earth observation, and climate research, is using Luminary's Physics AI to rapidly evaluate platform performance and refine designs. Leveraging GeoTransolver, Sceye is accelerating design exploration and optimization for its next-generation stratospheric airship.

Luminary has launched Luminary Private Cloud, an on-premises deployment of its Physics AI platform designed for secure, air-gapped defence and aerospace environments. The system enables high-performance simulation and AI-driven engineering within organisations' own secure perimeters, addressing data sovereignty and classified workflow requirements. The platform delivers the same capabilities as Luminary's cloud-hosted service, including AI-driven simulation, model training and inference, whilst operating entirely within restricted environments. It builds on existing ITAR-compliant deployment options and SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications. The launch reflects growing demand for deployable AI solutions in regulated industries where public cloud infrastructure is prohibited. The system maintains consistency with Luminary's SaaS platform and enables potential future hybrid deployments between private and public infrastructure.

Luminary Cloud expands physics AI toolkit with defense-focused models. The company designed its new SHIFT models to address collaborative combat aircraft, autonomous submarines, and fluid dynamics challenges. Luminary Cloud has released three new artificial intelligence models focused on different defense technology development needs. The company has developed what it calls physics AI, which can speed work on complex engineering problems such as aerodynamics, structural analysis, electromagnetics, and heat transfer. In October, Luminary signed a partnership with Northrop Grumman to work on rocket nozzle designs. With Monday's announcement, Luminary has released three more AI models under its SHIFT brand name: * SHIFT Collaborative Combat Air to help optimize the aerodynamic performance of drone prototypes intended to fly alongside crewed fighter jets. * SHIFT Submarine will focus on hydrodynamic efficiency and performance of autonomous vessels including battery capacity, which can limit the length and duration of missions. * SHIFT Pump, which is a model to optimize a new design for pumps including pressure, flow, and efficiency. "To outpace adversaries, physics AI is not optional - it is a mission-critical necessity. Platforms like Luminary are essential for compressing design timelines and securing the technological edge," said Juan Alonso, chief technology officer at Luminary. The new models expand upon the previously released SHIFT-SUV and SHIFT-Wing models for automotive and aerospace applications. SHIFT is a family of models that provide access to both high-quality datasets and pretrained models for a variety of applications and industries.
