We recorded an episode of Altium's OnTrack podcast with Zach Peterson Nabil and I walked through how @DeepPCB works. There's a reinforcement learning router underneath, and Cooper sits on top of it, reading your board and getting your design intent into the file before anything gets routed The boards weren't ours. We received three from Zach's community and routed them. On the one we started from scratch on air, Cooper's first observation was that the ground and power layers were typed as signal. That's the setup gap behind most of the "autorouters don't work" you hear: route that board as it stands and you get traces where you wanted a copper pour We also spent time on what we don't do (yet). We'd rather say it someone else's podcast is easier than it sounds, because the alternative is a customer finding out for themselves These tools change the designer's job. They don't remove the need to know (1) something about PCB design, or at least (2) what you're trying to achieve
