@quilterai just hit a milestone we've been working toward for years:
An AI-designed, 843-component Linux computer… that booted on the first try.
This is Project Speedrun — the hardest test we’ve ever thrown at Quilter.

Using reinforcement learning to build hardware @ quilter ai
Joined December 2013
- Replying to @sergiynestUsing physics-informed reinforcement learning, Quilter learns to design circuit boards by grading itself against what really matters: manufacturability, electromagnetics, thermodynamics, etc. quilter.ai/technology
- I am thrilled to announce that @quilterai has raised $10M in Series A funding led by @ericvishria at @benchmark to automate circuit board design. blog.quilter.ai/series-a/ 🧵🧵🧵
- Replying to @sergiynest@quilterai is automating PCB layout - a slow and laborious process necessary to create circuit boards. Today, we are releasing Quilter in open beta! app.quilter.ai
- Replying to @sergiynestQuilter is a company built by and for hardcore engineers. We have chosen to tackle something important and incredibly difficult. There are no off the shelf solutions to this problem, no “AI API” we can call to get a result.
- Replying to @sergiynestThat's why I started Quilter – to build an AI “compiler” for circuit boards that lets engineers focus their creative energy on expanding the boundaries of human innovation, not tediously implementing their ideas within them.
- Replying to @sergiynestAs a software engineer, I am spoiled with amazing tools that help me write, validate, test and ship software in minutes. But, as a hardware engineer, I feel like I am stuck having to compile my own code.
- Replying to @sergiynestThis is the kind of challenge that our team lives for. If you’re interested in working at a place like this, please consider joining us! quilter.ai/careers
- Replying to @sergiynestI want to extend a heartfelt thank you to @ericvishria at @benchmark, as well as @KVibhor and @SriViswan at @coatuemgmt for their investment in @quilterai, as well as to @chrissymeyer at @rootvc and @mcgd at Harrison Metal for their ongoing support.
- We are actively hiring across multiple roles! Every member of the team carries significant responsibility and weight. These will be no different. If you’re up for a challenge come chat with us!Come work at Quilter! We're currently #hiring for several foundational, remote-friendly roles in: - Electrical engineering - Reinforcement learning - Electromagnetics simulation - DevOps - Product design Learn more at quilter.ai/careers
- Replying to @sergiynestAnd most importantly, to the @quilterai team and their families – thank you for everything you have given to help us be here today. We won’t let you down! 🚀🌔
- @Jason @sundeep thanks for discussing @quilterai on @twistartups! @Jason today, it's efficiency - but total automation, not copilot. The designs we auto generate now take customers a week to create by hand. A major pain I felt at @SpaceX. Breakthroughs are coming :)
00:00 - Replying to @mr2___rm2Indeed! Shoutout to the open source design featured here.
- Replying to @SimonYoung76 @quilterai and 2 othersGreat question! The simple answer is: we don't need external training data. Quilter is built with Reinforcement Learning - that is it trains itself without human examples. We can validate that a PCB design is good by running physics simulations.
