Curious to how well LLM's work in this context! (mentioned as one of the reasons to embed CAD in Rust)

I only know of another text -> STL AI model, I'm quite a bit more excited about this idea.

Does someone have experience with this?

I've found LLMs perform surprisingly well here if you target CSG or OpenSCAD. It seems to frame the 3D modeling challenge as a logic and syntax problem rather than a spatial one, which plays to the model's strengths. You avoid the spatial hallucinations common in image generation because it's effectively just writing code.
