We built a layout viewer for AI agents. Then an agent scaled it to 38 million shapes.
How a goal-driven loop turned PhotonForge's browser LiveViewer from a half-million-shape viewer into a 38-million-shape, 60 FPS tool for humans and agents.
Learning Auto-Routing by Building: From Brute Force to an Auto-Design Agent
How I learned auto-routing for photonic chips — a failed brute-force attempt, AI as a learning partner, interactive HTML arenas, a PhotonForge router, and an agent that iterates 27 designs in under three minutes.
"What Should We Work On Next?"
The story of building an 80,000-line autodiff library almost entirely through AI agents — and the verification infrastructure that made it possible.
The Agent Control Loop — Engineering for Tolerance
Why agent reliability isn't magic model behavior — it's an environment where correctness is continuously verified. A framework for deciding when and how to delegate to AI agents.
