Is deepseek weak on circuit design? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've tried using deepseek (first time I've ever used an LLM, so maybe I'm being dumb) to help me a little with designing some circuit because my reference book was leaving out a LOT of crucial information.

The results have been ... subpar. The model seems to be making quite elementary mistakes, like leaving floating components with missing connections.

I'm honestly kinda disappointed. Maybe this is a weak area for it. I've probably had to tell deepseek more about designing the circuit in question than it has told me.

Edit: I realised I was just being dumb, since LLMs aren't designed for this task.

AIs for EDA are more about optimizing lengths of traces and looking for bugs, as far as I know from outside the industry. LLMs are generally not used for it and the AIs that are used are as far as I know proprietary. I also cannot confirm there's any current effort to train LLMs to help with EDA, though it's possible that someone else is doing that and I just don't know about it.
