OpenAI's rapid device prototype still needed manufacturing corrections. Autodesk and Siemens show other routes into CAD and simulation, while engineering teams face a slower test: which AI output is safe to build? Gene Dai daiq@live.cn Arjun Karanam Puts Expert Corrections Into the Training Loop https://digidai.github.io/2026/11/03/arjun-karanam-trajectory-expert-feedback/ 2026-11-03T00:00:00.000Z 2026-11-03T00:00:00.000Z

Trajectory's co-founder wants deployed AI agents to learn from expert edits. Its new graders and one-rollout research expose a harder question: who decides which corrections should change a model?
