VLMs for Electronics Design
Learn how to use VLMs to extract component models from vendor PDFs, transforming datasheets into live design data. This talk explores building data pipelines and a new approach to electronics design libraries.
An electronics design tool (think KiCAD or Altium) that leverages VLMs to turn vendor datasheet PDFs into live component models extracted directly from manufacturer reference documentation. The AI Tinkerers demo shows how I built the extraction pipeline using small open weight VLMs deployed on Modal, and a UI built on top of Zed’s GPUI framework.
The code and benchmark results discussed during the talk are now available on Github as the Parselab project.
