Tadpole: Autoencoders as Foundation Models for 3D PDEs with Online Learning

Tadpole introduces an autoencoder-based foundation model for 3D partial differential equations, pretrained via reconstruction on massive online-generated simulation data (202 TB equivalent) without storing it, enabling zero-shot reconstruction, dynamics prediction via lightweight adaptation, and generation across diverse 3D physical systems and resolutions.
