Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are one of the most exciting technologies in the field of scientific computing in recent years. They embed physical laws (such as partial differential equations) as constraints into neural networks, enabling AI to not only learn from data but also adhere to physical principles.

However, the practical application of PINNs faces many challenges: How to correctly formulate physical problems? What network architecture to choose? How to verify the physical consistency of results? How to convert experimental code into a production system?

PINNeAPPle was created to address these issues. It is an open-source physics AI research and experimentation platform designed to help users start from their first PINN experiment and gradually build robust production-grade solutions.

PINNeAPPle is a modular physics AI toolkit that covers PINNs, scientific machine learning, geometric processing, numerical solvers, and reproducible training workflows. Its design philosophy is: experiment first, learn next, then scale for deployment — and it is not tied to any specific framework, vendor, or ecosystem.

Unlike many libraries that only provide basic PINN implementations, PINNeAPPle offers a complete toolchain from problem definition to production deployment, allowing users to design, test, and validate physics AI systems in a controlled environment.

PINNeAPPle is organized into eight major modules, each containing multiple sub-modules:

This is the foundational layer of PINNeAPPle, responsible for handling the formal expression of physical problems:

• pde_environment: PDE problem specification, boundary conditions, initial conditions, preset configurations, RANS models
• pinn_solver: PINN compiler, DoMINO domain decomposition technique
• symbolic_pde: SymPy to automatic differentiation residual compiler

Users can symbolically define partial differential equations using SymPy, which are then automatically compiled into residual functions usable in neural networks.

Provides various neural network architectures specifically designed for physical problems:

• architectures: SIREN, ModifiedMLP, AFNO, HashGridMLP, MeshGraphNet, etc.
• trainer: Trainer, two-stage training, DDP distributed training, causal training, HPC tools
• predictor: Batch inference, grid evaluation, FlowVisualizer flow field visualization

These architectures are specifically designed to better capture the multi-scale characteristics and high-frequency components of physical problems.

The key to physics AI lies in validation. This module provides:

• uncertainty: MC-Dropout, ensemble uncertainty quantification, conformal prediction, calibration
• validation: Conserved quantity checks, boundary condition validation, symmetry checks
• inverse_problems: Noise models, regularizers, EKI, SINDy discovery
