Hardware Design Space Explorer is an AI hardware architect that turns a plain-English system requirement into three complete, verified system designs — each optimized for a different SWAP-C (Size,Weight and Power, Cost) trade-off 
(Efficiency: lowest power/longest runtime; Compact: smallest/lightest; Value: cheapest/fastest to source) — then ranks them and learns which one you actually pick.

The problem: specifying hardware means balancing Size, Weight, Power and Cost against dozens of hard constraints, and there is rarely one right answer — there are trade-offs that depend on engineering judgment. Tools that emit a single answer hide that judgment.

What makes this application different: a deterministic verifier — not the LLM — checks every design against every hard constraint (power budgets, P=I·V rails, endurance, thermal, mass, packing, compute, sensing, comms, actuation, connectors, IP rating), so results are trustworthy. A human picks the winner; the system distills that choice into preferences that reshape the next run's ranking, so its #1 converges on the human's taste (agreement rate trends up). Every backend step streams live, and a
growing library, full run history, model-comparison view and Learned Insights round it out.

Opus clearly beats Sonnet. Waiting to check Fable !
