Definition
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.
Live readiness status
Status as of the current dateline
AI-assisted assembly · derived results
As of 2026-10-05, verified readiness is 25 (claimed 35, reported 35, gap 10) — Strong evidence strength; current signals suggest Use TORAX for supervised simulation and control research; defer reliance on it for autonomous SPARC operation.
The readiness fact belongs to the canonical Readiness Verdict for DeepMind + CFS TORAX plasma control.
