    Maybe this is one of those topics to let an army of agents get loose. Nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

    Same here. Late to agentic party. 1st month was Codex, 2nd Claude, already thinking 3rd will be Codex again! Since Fable will be gone soon.

    For me the Best Pros is "That one random-internet-comment is a good usability improvement, ask LLM to do the small change and commit immediately." Smaller ideas need not be approve…

    If they release a model comparable to OpenAI / Antropic, will there be any reason left for 1T valuation of other companies? At that point, it will simply become Revenue proportiona…

    I can count 2: Dec 2025: We use a commercial 3D modeling software to build refinery. There was no license dashboard in this ancient piece of junk. Fortunately license server provid…

    Once someone taught me "you can do xyz reading a book, but you cant do surgery by reading a book". Now replace the book with LLM. This is what "domain expertise" look like for some…

    Agree on this one. As a Civil engineer, I can smell which software ( or some part of) was developed by computer engineers without much understating of the "domain". The worst offen…

    With the new agentic capabilities, I am quickly running out of Architecture decisions I have already made myself! For my work-in-progress engineering application. There is also som…

    Thank you for the insight. This makes me feel confident, the L40S we are about to acquire with 48GB VRAM for engineering application should be useful for agentic coding as well.

    I wish it offered a windows binary as well, since the original project gitea from which it was forked, does so. Sometime you need to go where many customers ahem enterprise are. As…

    This is the best publically posted model size, ever since top AI labs started treating model size as a trade secret. This should also guide next generation of inference ASICs.

    Building blast resistant is a common practices for Refinery control rooms. The same methodologies can be employed for data centers as well. 1 blast can be expensively guarded again…

    Same approach as mine. :) One more thing I try is give same prompt once in a while to ChatGPT/Gemini/Grok. Than take the 2 out of 3 ideas forward. All leading AI seems to have some…

    I can imagine, where this becomes a mainstream PCIe extension card. Like back in days we had separate graphics card, audio card etc. Now AI card. So to upgrade the PC to latest mod…

    I was all praise for Cerberus, and now this ! $30 M for PCIe card in hand, really makes it approachable for many startups.

    As I said, all these are optimized for Mechanical engineering, to the best of my knowledge. In civil, there are lots of standardization in 3D part and a lot more focus on 2D side. …
