I’ve tried using deepseek (first time I’ve ever used an LLM, so maybe I’m being dumb) to help me a little with designing some circuit because my reference book was leaving out a LOT of crucial information.

The results have been … subpar. The model seems to be making quite elementary mistakes, like leaving floating components with missing connections.

I’m honestly kinda disappointed. Maybe this is a weak area for it. I’ve probably had to tell deepseek more about designing the circuit in question than it has told me.

Edit: I realised I was just being dumb, since LLMs aren’t designed for this task.

    AIs for EDA are more about optimizing lengths of traces and looking for bugs, as far as I know from outside the industry. LLMs are generally not used for it and the AIs that are used are as far as I know proprietary. I also cannot confirm there’s any current effort to train LLMs to help with EDA, though it’s possible that someone else is doing that and I just don’t know about it.
