RL-tuned Kimi model designs transformers meeting 93% of unseen power specs

- @gentrajectory reports using RL to train a Kimi base model to design medium-power transformers: the model met 93% of unseen engineering specs.
- They claim this compresses multi-week electrical engineering work into minutes of inference, and argue that since AI is improving its own model architectures and chips, the power infrastructure it runs on deserves the same AI-driven attention.
