Living survey tracks 243 cases of frontier models driving CAD, 3D and robotics directly

Researchers note that recent frontier models (GPT-6 Astra, Claude Code with Opus 5.5) can now directly operate Blender, CAD kernels, game engines, physics simulators, and real robots — with new examples appearing almost daily, outpacing publication cycles.
They maintain a Living Survey:
- 243 cases curated from 345+ public showcases and developer reports
- Covering 3D modeling, CAD/industrial design, animation, simulation, and robot control, each linked to its source
- Uses a horizon-scanning approach beyond traditional survey publication lag
A key tracking resource for anyone working on AI for design, 3D, or robotics.
