"weeks of highly skilled work now hours/ minutes... unusual/ unintuitive circuit patterns, marked improvements over even best standard chips... more energy efficient, broader frequency range... AI sometimes hallucinates elements that don’t work, requiring some human oversight... AI discovers/ designs complex electromagnetic structures co-designed with circuits creating broadband amplifiers... future: linking multiple structures and designing entire wireless chips with the AI system"
