The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

TORAX is an open-source, fast differentiable plasma simulator built by Google DeepMind in collaboration with Commonwealth Fusion Systems that models how a tokamak's magnetically confined plasma evolves over time, letting engineers run large numbers of virtual experiments and train reinforcement-learning controllers to shape and stabilize the plasma before testing on real hardware.
