As someone who is not well versed in the current LLM paradigm, how are the LLMs for technical domains trained? I can imagine how a model based off interent text would make for a _general_ conversational partner, but I'm unsure how a model would produce accurate information from such a niche prompt.

Also curious: has anyone created an LLM for circuit schematics trained on HDL code?

Very cool application. It's nice to be reminded that people are actually trying to make useful products in a world where it seems everyone is trying to sell you a solution with no problem.

For starters you can feed it every book on electronics and every datasheet out there

That plus broad world knowledge and reasoning abilities gets you very far

And then you dynamically provide proper context and prompting as well as deterministic tooling such as a calculator to and voila…you got your new favorite virtual team mate :)
