GitHub Repo Coin flip · Warp deprecation is a problem
https://github.com/newton-physics/newton

Serious GPU physics sim with Disney/DeepMind/NVIDIA backing. Extends deprecated Warp, wraps MuJoCo. If it actually runs on your robot, it's signal; if it's vaporware waiting for Warp revival, it's a bet.

Newton is built on NVIDIA Warp's deprecated `warp.sim` module and wraps MuJoCo Warp as primary backend. That's a load-bearing dependency chain that could collapse. The science is real (GPU-accelerated differentiable sim, OpenUSD support, Linux Foundation backing), and the examples suggest actual roboticist value. But the README glosses over the Warp deprecation in a single link. If Warp gets revived or Newton forks the core, this is credible. If it becomes abandonware waiting on NVIDIA's next...
