0hmx - asked ai to compare us to free routing

comparing the effort right now

are you sure this is pipeline9

can you use the latest version and pipeline09

also freerouting fails on 50+ trace boards, it is pretty decent on small boards for sure

I asked the ai to see if our previous stage of graph Coloring optimization algo and we can expose that as an algorithm to use in simplification stage if it works well enough I am not sure it's working background

this is an example of a very simple pattern to optimize in simplification

effort is just completely broken right now, we might as well turn it off everywhere and just run simplification longer for higher effort levels

Yaaa haa this can be optimistic easily.

Yes disabled efforts will be good to

I think we have to have profiles of some kind based on board connection count. So we look better on a small boards

we could do auto-effort selection

that's a pretty easy way to do it

if we actually get effort tuned properly

Haa I was trying to take the easy path of adding some solver that reduces via count by planning better and only run them if we are below curtain connection count. That wil be too much of an hack ig

i like having a single lever that improves quality

dynamic adjustment is a great idea, but it could add a second lever

but i agree w/ what you're saying

freerouting outperforming us on any board grinds my gears hehe

you should see if it can do rishabh's pcbgolf hehe https://tscircuit.com/imrishabh18/pcbgolf
