🔬“We have foundation models for language, not for physics” — Anima Anandkumar, Bren Professor of Computing

2026-08-26

Anima 主张物理世界需要带结构的神经算子而非硬套语言模型缩放:FourCastNet 等在开源气象数据上逼近传统数值预报;傅里叶/球面谐波先验让长 rollout 稳定;聚变等离子体数字孪生可快百万倍;TorchLean 把网络写入 Lean 做形式化边界——目标是多物理场基础模型与反问题设计,并在联合国科学顾问角色推动循证 AI。

  1. 物理≠语言:无足够 token,且网格上下文可达万亿级,变压器硬上不可行。
  2. 神经算子:学习函数空间映射,支持任意分辨率。
  3. 结构先验:傅里叶/球面谐波等古典基仍关键。

金句

  • 「我们有语言的基础模型,却还没有物理的。」
  • 「每一维哪怕几百个格点……上下文可达千亿甚至万亿。别想对这种规模上变压器,全世界的算力都不够。」
  • 「把深度学习管用的都带走,但让它们更有原则一点。」
