Alex Higginbottom, Founder at Zenithon AI: BREAKING: Zenithon AI raised $10m30 sept20 min

<p>Zenithon AI just raised $10m from Backed, Lunar, Seraphim, MMC, SOSV and others. It&#39;s building AI that runs complex physics simulations a million times faster than today&#39;s tools, so engineers can test far more designs before building anything.</p><p><br></p><p>Alex Higginbottom is Founder at Zenithon AI. With the new funding, his team is training larger AI models and getting them into the hands of their first customers in fusion and chipmaking. Both fields have trillions of possible designs to explore, which is where that speed matters most.</p><p><br></p><p>The Scaling Europe show is presented by Deel.
