Startup open-sources AI simulation agent that cut data center cooling costs by $227k a year

The company, Standard Phys, has open-sourced Reynolds, an MIT-licensed agent that builds and runs OpenFOAM fluid simulations from plain-English descriptions, returning files users can rerun. Its commercial product, Archimedes, takes a goal and constraints, then iterates designs through simulation. Cited results include $227k in annual electricity savings for one data hall's cooling system, a 25.5% reduction in energy loss for an LS89 turbine vane, and a propeller optimized for both air and water for amphibious drones. The company uses outcome-based pricing and offers a hosted version with a free first month for work-email signups.
