10x faster & self-correcting: Feb 2026 update

If you’ve been using the agent recently, you’ll notice it feels different.

This Feb update focuses on two things: speed and correctness.

What’s new (quick version)

• Self-checking while it works: continuous ERC/DRC checks to catch missing connections, floating pins, and rule violations earlier.
• More self-correcting: it can adjust course step-by-step instead of following a rigid plan.
• Up to 10x faster: component placement, routing, and verification run in parallel, so bigger prompts finish way sooner.

One thing to try

Run a prompt you’ve used before and compare:

• “Design a buck converter for 12V → 5V @ 3A”
• “Replace U2 with a cheaper in-stock alternative and keep the same footprint”
• “Find why this power net fails ERC and fix it”
