Yacine predicts PCB design will run on open-weight models on consumer multi-GPU rigs within a year

Yacine MTB argues that PCB design capabilities will run on open-weight models atop beefy multi-GPU consumer systems within roughly a year, not frontier cloud models. He adds that owning a computer "will never be wrong" but things "are about to get really weird," implying local hardware plus open models is closing in on professional engineering workflows. An open-ended, practitioner-sourced prediction about how fast open models eat into specialized software domains.
