AslanX Flow in Action: Training & Deploying a CFD Surrogate Model | Deep Dive — Mason Seo

Mason Seo, CTO of Narnia Labs, demonstrates AslanX Flow, a platform enabling engineers to train, evaluate, and deploy surrogate models for 3D field prediction (e.g., CFD aerodynamics) without a dedicated machine learning engineer. The deep dive covers building a training workflow from raw engineering data, comparing model architectures like PointNet, Transolver, and Linear Neural Operator, and deploying the winning model as a no-code inference application. A key insight shared is the importance of evaluating models on specific engineering data, as public leaderboard performance doesn't always translate, alongside a preview of AI-driven workflow configuration.

Why 95% of All AI Projects Fail - Boris Scharinger | Podcast #174

Boris Scharinger, Industrial AI Strategist at Siemens and author of "Industrial AI: From Pilot to Profit," discusses why 95% of AI proofs of concept fail in industrial settings. He highlights the 5-10x cost multiplier from pilot to production, the critical role of the "harness" around AI models, and the unique challenges of data access and legacy systems in physical environments. Scharinger advocates for a two-tiered investment strategy, separating foundational data capabilities from use-case-specific ROI, and addresses cultural resistances from engineers. He provides guidance on differentiating commodity from strategic AI applications and how to effectively scale industrial AI for profit.
