TensorCAD treats a neural network the way an EDA tool treats a circuit. Blocks are symbols with typed pins. Tensors are nets. Shapes are checked by a real algebra rather than by running the thing. A design-rule check tells you the model will not fit on your GPUs before you rent them. And the drawing is not a picture of the model — it is the model, and PyTorch falls out of it.
It started as a tool for language models. It now draws vision transformers and convolutional classifiers too, because the same machinery turned out to work.
Llama-3-8B, one level open. Every net carries its shape; the readout is measured under the operating point at the top of it, and the title block in the corner says how the count compares with the published one.
Fit it on the cluster. Every split the cluster admits, priced and ordered by how little it asks of you. Pressing one applies it, and the whole readout follows. Sweep small, run big. The same design at several widths, with what to multiply the initialization and the learning rate by at each. Press a rung to open it.
The same model as volumes, a port of Brendan Bycroft's LLM visualisation (MIT). Blue is a weight, green an activation, and a ribbon is a tensor on its way somewhere.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Tensorcad: common questions
- Is Tensorcad MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (88/100). Read the Tensorcad safety report
- How do I install Tensorcad?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Tensorcad need an API key?
- No secret keys are declared. It reads 1 setting from the environment.
- Is Tensorcad maintained?
- The last commit was 39 days ago (2026-09-26). The latest release is v0.1.21.
- What can I use instead of Tensorcad?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Figma Context MCP server, Basic Memory MCP server and Agent-Native Design MCP server.
- How does Tensorcad compare with other AI and agents MCP servers?
- safety score 88/100 (higher than 80% of 4,460 AI and agents servers); tools 19 (the typical AI and agents server has 6); tools that change things 21% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
