The author proposes a weekend challenge: leveraging the current capabilities of GPT 5.6 Sol and Fable 5 to build a Rust-based ROS2 alternative.
Having always held strong views on ROS, he wants to see what agents can achieve now. Some good ideas have already surfaced, with both models leaning towards custom serialization. He is also pushing one of them to consider capnp as an alternative to protobuf.
