As many are looking to build agentic/generative/AI CAD, we have focused on building the tools that agents need to become engineers, following the same rules we do.
and yes, this is real, functional suspension -- no conventional CAD tools used, just agents and github.com/rdevaul/yapCAD
What's this? Only a fully agentically-designed model "mars" rover with parts you can 3D print and build yourself. 100% agent-designed, 100% open-source. Thanks to @GeKinsman @jeremymika and @AWERXAI — check out github.com/rdevaul/yapRover for full details

proving that you can print and build the github.com/rdevaul/yapRover — grab and agent and build your own project with 100% open-source agent-first advanced CAD: github.com/rdevaul/yapCAD
Twelve foot skelly deployed - if I can hack the Bluetooth interface I’ll have it making snarky commentary on your Halloween costume when you walk past :)
This makes me sad. There are many valid arguments about LLMs and “mind”, but unless you ascribe mystical powers to meat sacks, this is not one of them. You can build a computer from beer cans or rubber duckies - if mind is mechanistic, you can do the same
If you are interested in AI for advanced manufacturing and generative/procedural design, you should check out my yapCAD project. Turn your CAD into code and let superintelligence do the grunt work for you. github.com/rdevaul/yapCAD
This is interesting, but it would be very challenging to develop a base model with no prior knowledge of physics - there is too much physics in typical training data sets

Congrats, @bigshaan
has been a very interesting journey getting here. when I graduated @UF with a degree in chemistry never thought I would be leading a startup in one of the most asymmetric pockets within crypto.
as a wise man once said, you have to trust that the dots will connect in your future.
special thanks to the team at @recvcx, they've truly become family and such an important piece of our vision. and to everyone else who helped me get here, too many to name but you know who you are.
fractals is the capital formation layer for the machine economy.
imagine owning a stake in an autonomous robotaxi fleet and earning every time it completes a ride.
more on that next week, join me in building this new world.
Big implications if this generalizes across agent swarms
Fascinating AI swarm dynamics: a few agents spontaneously emerge as highly connected hubs, while most remain locally connected. The swarm develops a strongly heterogeneous interaction topology with a long-tailed degree distribution - an emergent organizational structure arising from initially decentralized local interactions. There is no central planner assigning roles; the swarm builds its own coordination architecture, with information brokers and increasingly global integration emerging from local behavior.
