Anthropic: Claude designs electronic prototypes end-to-end, boards work with zero fixes
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-11-10
Anthropic partnered with Diode Computers to test Claude Fable 5.2 on real electronics design. A year ago models couldn't reliably lay out boards; now, given only a short requirements prompt, Claude designed three devices — a speakerphone, a voice-assistant hub, and a handheld virtual pet — using geometric reasoning for board layout, anticipating manufacturing constraints, revising its own work, modeling mechanics in CAD, writing firmware, and directing human engineers to build prototypes. All three boards worked without any circuitry fixes, while tracking part availability and fab constraints.
