> To my surprise, Zoo’s API didn’t perform particularly well in comparison to LLMs generating STLs by creating OpenSCAD

This is interesting. As foundational models get better and better, does having proprietary data lose its defensibility more?

Zoo co-founder here. Our product is still pre-v1. But getting to v1 very soon. We actually built a whole new CAD kernel from the ground up. I say this because we can't actually train on models the CAD engine does not yet support. Just 2 weeks ago we shipped csg boolean operations to the CAD engine. This unlocked new data to train our model on that use those operations. So its actually fair to say at the time he used our model we using about 2% of the data we actually have. Once we can use more and more the ability of the model will only get better.
