Notes · AISimulate

A calendar target transfers nothing by itself.

Observed 2026-09-15 on public NVIDIA AISimulate and AIConfigurator surfaces. Source and development direction had materially moved toward AISimulate. September 16 was a published target date, not an authority-transfer fact. No GitHub release was published at observation time. Status: watch.

Overview

Each authority surface has its own gate.

Planned successor identity is not source-development authority, artifact-publication authority, compatibility authority, production-recommendation authority or legacy-retirement authority. Compatibility parity is not empirical accuracy parity. Package and API migration cannot promote simulation-derived deployment recommendations without a declared evidence class and measured reality. No private NVIDIA material was accessed.

Public sources

github.com/ai-dynamo/aisimulate, AIConfigurator DEP 1517, public migrate-from-aiconfigurator docs, and public end-to-end accuracy notes.

What moved

Source and development direction toward AISimulate, publicly active.

What did not move

Stable artifact cutover, AIC retirement authority, and production recommendation authority.Those remain gated.

G8

Public accuracy material separates support coverage, compatibility, curve-shape error and empirical prediction error.Some operating points improve; others regress. Independent validation stays required.

Reopen

A stable AISimulate artifact or release, AIC deprecation, a Dynamo stable transition, or materially changed parity evidence.

Proof

Watch, not claimed done.

NVIDIA Cosmos remains the named next world-model delta on the physical-AI lane. This note is the cutover grammar for simulation surfaces, not a completed Cosmos deployment.
