Indian man builds AI model for engineering, claims it beats GPT-6 Astra at 150x lower cost

An Indian entrepreneur has developed an AI model designed to handle complex engineering tasks, claiming it can outperform leading AI models, including GPT-6 Astra, while costing a fraction of their price. Sam Pasupalak, co-founder and CEO of Skyfall AI, has introduced SKY-001, a model built to create engineering designs using computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modelling (BIM). According to Pasupalak, the model is faster, cheaper and more accurate than the leading AI systems his team tested. The model is the result of 18 months of work by the Skyfall AI team. Pasupalak announced it on X, sharing benchmark results to explain how it compares with other AI models. Sam Pasupalak announces SKY-001, an AI model built for engineering design.
