1000 Designs a Day: Neural Concept's Thomas von Tschammer on AI-Native Engineering
"We have engineers that are using these workflows, using AI to explore and asking the AI to explore these hundred thousands of configurations overnight. And when they come the morning after, they're looking at the results, and then they're getting back to us and telling us, hey, did it— Very impressive. The AI model came up with a design that I would have never thought would be good. If you had shown me this design like this, I would have said, hey, scrap this, this is not gonna work. But actually, those designs are better than anything we could come up with."
Neural Concept's specialist physics models are generating Move 37-style engineering breakthroughs where AI-designed components outperform human intuition. Engineers report designs they would have dismissed as non-viable are proving superior after overnight AI exploration of thousands of configurations, forcing domain experts to rethink their understanding of physics and optimization trade-offs.
