#2Impressive!
Re: Text-to-CAD
#3Great start! I have a feeling this is going to cascade (no pun intended) in ways we haven't quite wrapped our heads around.
What is the underlying technology here? Is this an LLM driven workflow or Image generation driven workflow? I can imagine a way to do something similar either way given a dataset geared a particular direction. Speaking of... anyone have a lead on a CAD-esque dataset?
I have been trying to use local llm's for openSCAD code generation. My results have been quite terrible, and I would rather use Fusion or Solidworks if I am going to "sit down" and CAD something. I would really like to see the dataset used for this or something similar. My guess is this is an openSCAD or similar workflow.

#4That will be great to make video games, this can easily be imported into blender, then the textures can be made with stable diffusion or DallE

#5When ever I see CAD mentioned on hackernews it's always 3D and never the more ubiquitous (in the construction industry) 2D documentation CAD. I wonder if this would be able to generate 2D vector files.

It’s trivial to take a 2D image DALLE3 or midjourney generate and vectorize it (illustrator etc.)

#7The only LLM-as-a-service I use is phind for the sole reason that it allows me to use it without "signing up" first.
If the sign up is a necessary barrier for your needs is for you to decide, but I just wanted to let you know that I was excited to try your product for my wood working and 3d printing needs until the required signup.
Just some anecdata that even a little friction can be a hindrance in people using your product.

That kind of vectorization is a royal pain to edit.

#9Can you use this for architectural plans? Or is that too complex?

#10What about dimensions? It's a good starting point, but which software can use this to alter the dimensions precisely? This should have been called Text-to-3D.
