> To me innovation in autorouting means being able to 'have a conversation' with it: being able to easily adjust things and see the results and map out the tradeoffs would be very useful

author here: This is basically our philosophy. LLMs can churn out constraints/code very quickly to pull out the specific requirements for a design or the chips you're using. When people use tscircuit (or any electronics-as-code framework) they can talk to an LLM and just keep yelling at it in the same way you yell at an LLM to fix a web page. The success of web pages and LLMs is built from small constraint algorithms like flexbox and CSS grid, this article is just one constraint algorithm that can help LLMs approximate a solution without specifying a bunch of XY coordinates that would challenge its spatial understanding
