README
Steel
Steel is Skild's physics solver for scalable simulation of manipulation, built with NVIDIA and open-sourced as part of Newton. Across 20 robot-learning benchmarks it delivers 3.8× PhysX's simulation throughput (geometric mean), and up to 13× on heterogeneous batches that mix different robots and tasks, while using less GPU memory.
We are actively accepting contributions from you and your agents, and are committed to maintaining Steel as a shared foundation for diverse, scalable simulation.
