How I Built a Generative Manufacturing Engine That Actually Obeys Physics

Large Language Models are great at poetry and terrible at engineering. If you ask GPT-4 to design a machine, it will hallucinate a bolt that doesn't exist or a battery that explodes. To fix this, I built OpenForge—a multi-agent system that autonomously sources real components, reads their datasheets via computer vision, and validates them against deterministic physics engines. While I used this architecture to build drones, the pattern solves the fundamental bottleneck in automating hardware engineering across any industry.
