Briefing
AllSpice Hub first parses the design files, from Altium, OrCAD, KiCad and three other formats, into JSON. A selection agent splits each page into functional groups, such as a regulator with its feedback network. A retrieval pipeline finds each part's datasheet, extracts the relevant pages and has a critic agent score the result, retrying up to five times. Several review agents check each group pin by pin, and an error-grouping agent merges findings that share a root cause into one comment.
The authors write that a 10-page schematic with 50 to 100 unique components takes under 20 minutes, with a stronger Anthropic model for review and a weaker one for datasheet extraction. They say Fortune 500 teams, an autonomous vehicle company and a commercial space company use it. The paper links a demo video.
