Can AI design circuit boards yet? — EEBench ¶
eebench.org
So, can it design a circuit board? For a useful and growing set of circuit problems, we think the answer is already yes. The scores also make it clear that there is plenty left to do. OpenAI choosing a PCB for one of Astra's first demos and xAI publishing EEBench in a model card both feel like early signs of the same thing: AI labs are starting to take electronics seriously.
Not terribly surprising that LLMs can ingest "textbooks, datasheets, application notes and a lot of code" and be somewhat productive. The labs making concerted efforts to make them better at electronics is a tell.
