Researchers are maintaining a Living Survey of frontier AI for design, 3D modeling and robotics, in response to GPT-6 Astra, Claude Code with Opus 5.5 and similar foundation models now working directly with Blender, CAD kernels, game engines, physics simulators and real robots.
- 243 curated cases from 345+ public showcases and developer reports, spanning 3D modeling, CAD and industrial design, animation, simulation, and robot control, each linked to its source
- New examples appear almost daily, outpacing the academic publication cycle
- The survey's key idea is horizon scanning beyond publication lag, tracking frontier capability evolution in near real time
