Abstract
We present PhysicsLM, a system that frames 2D rigid body physics simulation as autoregressive language modeling. Simulation frames are encoded as structured text strings, and LFM2-350M is fine-tuned via LoRA to predict the next frame token-by-token. The accompanying PhysicsScenes dataset contains 900K training scenes across 24 scenario types in six physical categories. PhysicsLM achieves 22.64 px mean position error (~3% of scene diagonal) with 100% parse rate, stable 50-frame rollouts, and first-of-kind in-browser inference via WebGPU.
Key Results
- Mean Position Error: 22.64 px (single-step, full validation set)
- Parse success rate: 100% (37/37 objects)
- Rollout stability: stable for 50+ frames (100% of scenes)
- Dataset: 900K scenes, 30 scenario types, ~582 GB uncompressed
- Browser deployment: ONNX q4f16 via WebGPU (~2x faster than q4)
