Large IFU surveys such as CALIFA, MaNGA, SAMI, GECKOS, and current and upcoming programs with instruments like VLT?MUSE and JWST/NIRSpec are producing vast, information-rich datasets that demand scalable and flexible analysis methods. Forward modeling enables direct, apples-to-apples comparisons between theoretical models and data, but existing IFU forward-modeling tools are limited in several important ways.

First, computational performance remains a major bottleneck: widely used packages for generating mock IFU observations from simulations often require tens of minutes to hours per galaxy on CPUs, making large mock surveys or extensive parameter studies impractical. Second, these tools are generally non-differentiable, which precludes efficient gradient-based optimization and inference. As a result, there are limitations to inverse modelling which must rely on expensive sampling methods or simplified approximations, limiting the scope and precision of simulation–observation comparisons. Third, many existing codes are monolithic and difficult to extend, with hard-coded modeling assumptions that hinder reproducibility and extensibility through exploration of alternative physical models.
