summary

Small 60-person team uses AI-driven simulation and automation to generate 600,000 design variants and iterate hardware in months, not years, producing a working stellarator-style accelerator within 18 months and a peer-reviewed integrated design. Work relies on Max Planck facilities and European suppliers like Bilfinger. Concrete roadmap targets magnet demonstration 2027 (novel superconducting, heavily curved coils) and a steady-state fusion machine 2031, aiming for a first-of-a-kind power plant in the late 2030s.
