Zoo co-founder here. Our product is still pre-v1. But getting to v1 very soon. We actually built a whole new CAD kernel from the ground up. I say this because we can't actually train on models the CAD engine does not yet support. Just 2 weeks ago we shipped csg boolean operations to the CAD engine. This unlocked new data to train our model on that use those operations. So its actually fair to say at the time he used our model we using about 2% of the data we actually have. Once we can use more and more the ability of the model will only get better.

Also the goal is ultimately to return a KCL file which is our scripting language for CAD which is very parametric :) and easily editable, this will come next year

This is good feedback thank you! The model will only get better from here and we will work on speed and UX, we are also getting a bit pounded at the moment which might account for some slowness.

Our kernel isnt open source but we have an API, and we rebuilt our own CAD engine to fully utilize GPUs

While we are not fully capable yet, that's the end goal by next year. Years from now we cannot still be using these single-threaded nightmares from 30 years ago.

Huge congrats to the team that worked on this! Had the pleasure of being there to witness it and meeting many of them, both old and new employees and what a great group of engineers!

EDIT: Shameless plug I know one the cofounders Jordan Noone, and he’s brilliant.

Let's hope thats all, as that is super understandable. Of course, I could see them trying to inject into the model as well...
