Episode notes
Synthetic Training Data Crucial
- The biggest challenge for AI in physical engineering is creating sufficiently large and diverse physics-based synthetic training datasets.
- Clever sampling around dominant and edge designs is needed to effectively train models.
Federated Model Architecture
- Engineering reasoning simplifies into primitive operations like design evaluation, synthesis, and error correction.
- A federated model approach combines neural and algorithmic components orchestrated by an LLM reasoner.
Archie Demo and Evaluation
- P1AI created a demo AI agent, Archie, handling residential cooling systems to test physical AI concepts.
- They are developing evals comparing Archie to entry-level and expert human engineers to improve its capabilities.
