yes i saw that! imho the latest foundation models have enabled a whole host of new possibilities. particularly improvements on SWE-BENCH and other software related benchmarks seem to translate fairly well to openSCAD as we're generating code. however there is still a lot of work to do, as these models struggle to reason spatially. gemini 2.5 is probably the best here rn.

the future of cad generation will undoubtedly extend far beyond simple code-gen to generating human-readable features. this is where the data will be important!
