Heaviside brings its electromagnetic-design model to Microsoft Discovery
Arena Physica's 350-million-parameter Heaviside‑1 predicts 3D electromagnetic fields in milliseconds and leaves final validation to a conventional solver.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- Uses the 350M-parameter Heaviside‑1
- Predicts 3D field responses in milliseconds
- The roughly 100,000× speed claim comes from Arena Physica
- Final validation can use a full-fidelity solver
What is changing?
Arena Physica announced on October 13 that Heaviside is now available on Microsoft Discovery. Heaviside‑1 has 350 million parameters and was trained on 250,000 three-dimensional field simulations covering 500 billion individual field samples.
Given geometry, materials, and excitation, the model predicts a full 3D electromagnetic-field response in milliseconds. The company says this is roughly 100,000 times faster than a conventional solver and within one decibel of commercial accuracy.
The Discovery workflow lets agents scan a design space with fast Heaviside predictions and return to a full-fidelity conventional solver at critical stages. Speed and accuracy figures are provider measurements; RF, photonics, and semiconductor teams should validate them on their own geometries.
