Astra builds its own parametric CAD kernel with zero errors, AI coding milestone
yacineMTB · x · 2026-09-07
Yacine quote-RTs @movaxbx's demo of Astra, an AI that built its own parametric CAD kernel from scratch — one of the hardest classes of industrial software — with the emphasis on "make no mistakes," i.e. error-free generated kernel code. A notable showcase of frontier coding-agent capability.
