Vinci4D, a Silicon Valley startup, says its physics-driven AI software runs up to 1,000 times faster than conventional simulation tools with higher accuracy.
The company closed a $250 million Series B at a $1.5 billion valuation, led by Advent, Temasek and Xora, with AMD Ventures participating.
CEO Hardik Kabaria says the platform lets engineers run simulations a day after a design change rather than two weeks later.
