cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-11-10
An engineer shared hands-on ratings for ChatGPT Astra across PCB design stages:
- Component selection: 6/10
- Footprint assignment: 8/10
- Routing: 9/10
- BOM: 9/10
The takeaway: AI performs strongly in well-structured, rule-driven steps like routing and BOM generation, but still falls short on engineering judgment tasks such as component selection.
