OpenAI tests AI for hardware design and vehicle simulation
OpenAI says two employees designed a Codex-connected prototype with GPT-6 Astra in under a week; it needed review before manufacturing.
TLDR
OpenAI says its hardware teams use ChatGPT and Codex to revise CAD models, prepare manufacturing drawings and set up simulations. Their model usage, measured in tokens, rose 23-fold since February 2026. The company is testing workflows with Chip Ganassi Racing to turn 3D scans into editable CAD models and working with Mazda to explore vehicle designs through simulation. Engineers review the outputs for accuracy and practical use.
