What does "designed by AI" mean this time? The output appears to be a set of Gerbers, BOM and pick/place files, but what was the input?

1. A schematic of a reference design with all components specified, and a library of components with correct footprints.

2. A block diagram with the major components, but nothing too specific. Free reign of Digikey.com.

3. "Computer, make me a linux board, and make it snappy!"

(I think 1 is closest)

   We chose to base our System-on-Module (SOM) + baseboard designs on the NXP i.MX 8M Mini evaluation platform Staff Electrical Engineer Ben Jordan prepared the design and constraints for the boards and submitted the jobs. Quilter ran parallel seeded runs with varied constraints, completing the layout in 27 hours, returning multiple ranked candidates.

   Quilter took care of the repetitive design work while the engineer stayed in control. Automation handled placement, routing, and physics checks, freeing him to focus on firmware prep, documentation, and constraint refinement. Common supply-chain hiccups—a few connectors out of stock and a Wi-Fi module dropped—were resolved instantly, with no delay to iteration. Cleanup was minimal: PDN pours, via clusters, and minor footprint swaps—no rip-ups, no re-spins.
