RL-trained Kimi base model designs power transformers, meeting 93% of unseen specs

Gentle Trajectory reports using reinforcement learning to teach a Kimi base model to design medium-power transformers (the electrical kind): it met 93% of unseen specs, compressing multi-week engineering efforts into minutes of inference — "we used the transformer to design the transformer."

The thread (1/5) uses this as evidence for a bigger thesis: AI is now improving its own model architectures and chips, so the power infrastructure it runs on deserves equal attention.
