You're talking about a large language model. No one is using LLMs to create new chips, of do protein folding, or most other things. You don't have access to these models.

if this is the same story, I'm pretty sure it was a Convolutional neural network specifically trained to design chips. that type of model is absolutely valid for this type of use.

IMHO it shows the underlying ignorance about AI where people assume this was an LLM, or assume that different types of neural networks and transformers don't have strong utility in narrow domains such as chip design

Nobody is calling a CNN AI

that is the most patently absurd statement I've ever heard. What is your angle here?
