Chinese Team Launches DeepSoma Platform to Crack PhysicalAI Challenges
量子位 · wechat · 2026-08-22
Chinese startup Zhiyue Space Intelligence released DeepSoma, a whole-brain simulation platform aiming to solve key challenges in PhysicalAI. Unlike EonSystems' digital fruit fly which uses simplified LIF neurons, DeepSoma upgrades the model layer with detailed biophysical modeling, the world layer by reconstructing real scenes into 4D digital worlds, and the platform layer by supporting cross-embodiment agents (robotic arms, humanoids). The platform aims to be the "PyTorch" for PhysicalAI, closing the loop of BuildWorlds, RunBrains, and EmbodyIntelligence.
