Capabilities

Not another nesting tool. A new category.

Every commercial nesting package runs the same algorithms. Magpie is the first to use LLMs as direct optimisation engines — with a self-learning ML layer that gets smarter with every job.

🧠
Patent Pending
LLM as Direct Algorithm
The LLM doesn't write code or assist — it directly generates placement coordinates and orientations. A validation pipeline checks for overlaps and bounds violations, retrying with intelligent error feedback.
🗣️
Multi-Model
LLM Council
For complex jobs, a multi-LLM panel debates strategy. A proposer generates layouts, a critic evaluates them, and an orchestrator aggregates scores — across providers like Claude, DeepSeek, and Kimi.
GAT Algorithm Selector
A Graph Attention Network treats each part as a node with geometric features. It learns relational patterns between parts that flat-feature classifiers miss — predicting the best algorithm with a confidence score.
🔍
Natural Language Explainability
Every placement decision comes with a plain English explanation. Operators understand why parts were placed where they are — building trust in automated layouts.
📐
DXF, CF2, PDF & SVG Support
Native CF2 support alongside DXF, PDF, and SVG. ML-powered path classification extracts part outlines automatically from complex drawings.
🔧
Production Constraints
Grain direction, cutter tolerances, print grip margins, minimum gaps — real manufacturing constraints built in by someone who's worked with them first-hand.
📈
Waste Analytics
Track material usage across jobs. Monitor waste reduction over time and identify savings opportunities with per-job cost tracking.
💰
API Cost Transparency
Real-time LLM API cost tracking per job. See exactly what each optimisation costs (£0.015 typical) alongside the material savings it generates.
🔁
Continuous Learning
Every job trains the system. Performance data feeds back to refine the GAT selector, the LLM prompts, and the strategy advisor — getting measurably better over time.

Three tiers of intelligence.

Magpie orchestrates a hierarchy — from millisecond ML predictions to deep LLM reasoning — to find the optimal strategy for every job.

T1
Fast Path

Graph Attention Network

A trained GAT model analyses every job in milliseconds. Each part becomes a node with geometric features — area, convexity, aspect ratio — connected by edges encoding part-to-part relationships. The output: a recommended algorithm and a confidence score.

INPUTPart geometries as graph nodes with 8–10 features each
OUTPUTAlgorithm recommendation + confidence score (0.0–1.0)
SPEED<50ms inference time
T2
Strategy

LLM Strategy Advisor

When GAT confidence drops below threshold, or the job is too complex for a single algorithm, the LLM strategy advisor activates. It reasons about batching, algorithm selection, and parameter tuning — without generating coordinates.

TRIGGERGAT confidence < threshold or >80 items
ROLEIntelligent batch partitioning + per-batch algorithm assignment
COST~£0.003 per advisory call
T3
Direct AI

LLM Coordinate Generation

The patented core: the LLM receives part geometries, sheet constraints, and manufacturing tolerances — then directly outputs placement coordinates and orientations. A validation pipeline catches overlaps and retries with targeted error feedback.

NOVELLLM as algorithm, not code generator — patent pending
VALIDATEOverlap & bounds checking with iterative retry
EXPLAINNatural language reasoning for every placement

Upload. Think. Optimise. Explain.

Four steps from file to factory floor. The complexity is ours, not yours.

1
Upload your parts
Drag and drop DXF, CF2, PDF, or SVG files. ML-powered path classification extracts outlines automatically.
2
AI analyses the job
The GAT model extracts geometric features from every part and selects the optimal approach — escalating to the LLM advisor for complex jobs.
3
Optimise & validate
Algorithms execute — deterministic, LLM, or hybrid. The validation pipeline ensures zero overlaps before presenting the final layout.
4
Understand & export
Read the AI's reasoning for each placement. Export production-ready layouts with cut paths and nesting reports.

Watch the brain work.

Magpie orchestrates a pipeline of ML models, LLMs, and validation layers to find the best possible layout.

01

Multi-Algorithm Engine

NFP, genetic, guillotine, B1 tournament, particle swarm, simulated annealing, and interlocking strategies — each tuned for different part geometries.

02

Confidence-Gated LLM

The ML model's confidence score determines whether to use fast deterministic algorithms or invoke the LLM for deeper reasoning. No wasted API calls.

03

Validation Pipeline

Every LLM-generated layout passes through automated overlap detection, bounds checking, and constraint validation — with error-specific feedback and intelligent retry.

04

Multi-LLM Council

For high-stakes jobs, multiple LLMs independently evaluate layouts. A proposer, critic, and orchestrator debate strategy across providers — converging on the best result.

Know why, not just where.

Every other nesting tool gives you a layout and asks you to trust it. Magpie tells you the reasoning behind every placement — in plain English.

Operators can verify the AI considered their constraints. Quality managers can audit decisions. The system builds trust because every choice is transparent.

"I placed the A5 covers in a 2×3 grid pattern starting at (0,0) because this maximises utilisation of the sheet width. The A6 covers fit efficiently in the remaining space at (650, 0) without requiring rotation. This layout achieves 82% efficiency while maintaining simple guillotine cutting paths for your 2m guillotine."
