An LLM read a pencil sketch, built antenna models, and ran the simulation
A ham radio operator had a frontier LLM read his pencil sketch of an antenna, build NEC models from it, test and iterate on numerical stability until the approximation held together, and then run a real simulation that answered his questions. He uses the same approach for SPICE circuit simulation.
Tracked a CPAP machine through its 30-day price-guarantee window and secured a
