LLM Agents Create Reliable CAD Models with Solver Feedback.

Summary

Embodied CAD introduces solver-grounded LLM agents that iteratively build parametric B-Rep assembly models, using real-time feedback from a CAD backend to plan, repair, and learn. This approach ensures geometric validity and editability, crucial for industrial applications.

While large language models (LLMs) can generate plausible CAD scripts, industrial-grade computer-aided design (CAD) requires more than just syntactically correct code; every geometric feature and assembly relation must be precisely accepted by an exact geometric kernel and remain parametrically editable. This research presents "Embodied CAD," a system of LLM agents designed for parametric B-Rep assembly modeling that addresses these challenges. Instead of generating a complete script in one go, these agents operate iteratively. The agents select actions from a structured CAD skill library, translate them into geometric operations, and execute them within a CAD backend. Crucially, they use the solver's feedback to refine their planning, correct errors, and learn from experience. This framework integrates action grammar constraints, deterministic parameter resolution, and solver-derived rewards for both supervised initial training and reinforcement learning refinement. Evaluated on complex mechanical assembly tasks, Embodied CAD demonstrates high executable rates and significant progress towards reliable, long-horizon policy prediction for CAD modeling.

Why it matters

This breakthrough enables more reliable and autonomous CAD design, potentially accelerating product development cycles and reducing manual errors in complex engineering tasks. It bridges the gap between LLM code generation and the stringent requirements of industrial geometric modeling.

New Metric Improves LLM Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards.

This research introduces the Relative Surprisal Index (RSI), an information-theoretic metric for adaptive token selection in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) for LLMs. RSI-S, an entropy-adaptive filtering method based on RSI, improves reasoning accuracy by 2-3 percentage points by retaining tokens within a stable surprisal interval.
