Listen "Project Speedrun: AI-Designed Linux Computer in Under 7 Days"

Episode Synopsis

We dive into Quilter, a physics-driven reinforcement-learning system that designs a complete two-board Linux computer on the NXP iMX8M Mini. It generates layout options and verifies real-world physics—impedance, heat, and manufacturability—during the design, achieving first-power-up reliability with no re-spins. We explore how this hardware-rich approach could cut R&D costs by ~26% and speed time to market by ~28% across semiconductors, redefining the pace of hardware development.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
