Quilter's AI just designed an 843‑part Linux computer that booted on the first try. Hardware will never be the same. (venturebeat.com)

Quilter, which has raised more than $40 million from investors including Benchmark, Index Ventures, and Coatue, used its physics-driven AI to automate the design of a two-board computer system that booted successfully on its first attempt, requiring no costly revisions. The project, internally dubbed "Project Speedrun," required just 38.5 hours of human labor compared to the 428 hours that professional PCB designers quoted for the same task.

I may be hallucinating now, but I swear I remember nearly a decade ago there was a paper or articles about how CG PCBs were using some electrical tricks that were non standard to minimize space or something. The design purposefully had arcs or short circuits or something. Maybe it was a temperature thing? I did a more than cursory search and couldn't find much, but I vividly remember having conversations about it. Anyone remember anything like that?

Cg = computer generated?

Yea. I didn't call it AI because I'm not sure the exact method of generation. It may have been AI or maybe some other generation method.
