OpenAI says ChatGPT and Codex are helping engineers design hardware and simulation tools

OpenAI reports that two team members used GPT-6 Astra to design a prototype device for talking to Codex in under a week as a side project. Astra designed the enclosure, circuit board, interface, and software, though manufacturing still required several review rounds. The company is also working with Chip Ganassi Racing to convert 3D scans into editable CAD models and manufacturing drawings, and with Mazda to explore vehicle designs via simulation. Engineers review outputs to identify model weaknesses. OpenAI calls these early steps and is seeking engineering and software partners.
