OpenAI highlights Codex use in CAD, PCB design and simulation
OpenAI describes how engineers use ChatGPT and Codex to accelerate CAD, PCB design, simulation and other physical engineering workflows. The supplied item provides no performance measurements.
Why it matters: These applications extend coding assistants beyond software development, though the available information does not establish measurable gains.
In practice

Why it matters: The case illustrates a solo-maintainer application of coding assistance, rather than a new tool capability or release.
