Agentic AI for Model-Based Engineering: Dyad’s product team recently announced an agentic AI system that ensures physical correctness in model-based engineering. By combining AI agents with a constrained, unit-tested modeling environment, Dyad generates models that are not just fast—but accurate. Dyad’s AI doesn’t just generate code — it collaborates, reasons about physics, validates behavior, and produces reusable, deployment-ready models. From automated brake system calibration to full system simulations, Dyad transforms AI from a code assistant into an engineering partner. Read the full blog post and watch the video tutorial to see it in action.

JuliaHub CEO Dr. Viral Shah at Simulation World: Dr. Prith Banerjee moderated a panel discussion on Digital Engineering in the Age of AI with panelists including Buvna Ayyagari from Synopsys, Bill Vass from BoozAllenHamilton, Bob Tickel from Cummins, Dr. Mark T. Maybury from LockheedMartin, Nathan VanRheenen from Boeing, and JuliaHub CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Viral Shah. The panel discussed topics such as the use of digital engineering with MBSE and digital twins, the adoption of digital engineering in the automotive and aerospace industries, the use of simulation and virtual testing in digital engineering, the digital engineering ecosystem and cross-domain collaboration, use of AI/ML and agentic AI in digital engineering, and how the next generation of workers (Gen Z) will be trained in digital engineering.

Julia 1.12 Released: Julia 1.12 brings big upgrades: a new --trim feature and JuliaC for dramatically smaller binaries (“Hello World” now just ~1 MB, down from hundreds of MBs previously), redefinition of constants/structs, new tracing tools, improved multi-threading, OncePerX initialization, BOLT-optimized builds, expanded @atomic support, per-task metrics, and new Pkg features like Workspaces and Apps. Explore the full details in the release notes.

Julia Founders Featured at Open Source Friday: JuliaHub CEO Viral B. Shah joined fellow Julia co-creators Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, and core contributor Keno Fischer for Open Source Friday, a global showcase of open innovation. Together, they shared insights on how Julia’s open source foundations power high-performance technical computing and scientific machine learning. Watch the recording. 

A Vast ‘Cosmic Web’ Connects the Universe — Really. Now, We Can Emulate It: Effort.jl: a Fast and Differentiable Emulator for the Effective Field Theory of the Large Scale Structure of the Universe is a new article in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.

Julia Set in Quantum Evolution Demonstrates Connection to Dynamical Quantum Phase Transitions: Julia Set in Quantum Evolution Demonstrates Connection to Dynamical Quantum Phase Transitions is a new article describing how dynamical quantum phase transitions can be understood through the mathematics of the Julia set, linking quantum dynamics to fractal geometry. When a system’s evolution intersects the Julia set of its renormalization group transformation, it predicts abrupt quantum state changes, offering a new way to analyze material behavior and boundary effects.

JuliaMSI: A High-Performance Graphical Platform for Mass Spectrometry Imaging Data Analysis: Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) produces massive datasets that can overwhelm traditional tools like R and Python. JuliaMSI, a new GUI built in Julia, offers a faster, more interactive way to work with MSI data in open formats (.imzML, .ibd, .mzML). Benchmarks show up to 5× speedups over R-based tools, JuliaMSI accelerates data loading, preprocessing, and visualization.
