Sebastien Bubeck’s (OAI project lead) response: https://x.com/sebastienbubeck/status/2097379411691516310?s=4...

Has anyone had experience with Copperhead vs Astra and kicad? Looking for a similar tool soon

we're developing https://copperbench.org - an open-source benchmark for evaluating ai agents on real, verifiable hardware design tasks.

any idea how it stacks up against zoo / zookeeper?

https://zoo.dev/research/zookeeper


mmm, someone decided to reuse `zookeeper` name, seriously?

I do not have experience with Copperhead, but I made 2 PCBs with Claude. He made a py script that generates Kicad sources, I ended up generating all files (in particular schematics and PCB) from a shared netlist, and use Kicad cli to validate and generate gerbers.

I manufactured both PCBs via PCBWay (Claude also red all the specs and configured the constraints accordingly) and both work. I'm pretty impressed, especially because I've never done a PCB myself and didn't know I could.

What I was doing manually, co-working with Claude, was placing and routing (I was doing those via Kicad, then saving, then Claude was re-importing my work in his py files).


I recommend having the LLM write Skidl, which generates a netlist, which you import in the PCB editor, which the LLM then reviews. Routing itself I think would require code-driven routing (expressing board via layout constraints, kinda like UI constraints/CSS) which does not exist yet.

Copperhead directly edits the KiCad files so that is the CLI version of that Astra demo.

not quite. copperhead operates on its own IR, which then compiles to KiCad files.

This is what I want to know as well. I'm about to kick off a project or two.

See, that's a different credential. Founding "science" doesn't inspire confidence, at least to me.


This is the name of his new company.

For those interested in the paper, it follows on very interesting work out of FAIR:

Does anyone have any insights into what type of engineering services the IRS defines as SRE - meaning, does forward / customer facing integration // engineering meet the SRE classification threshold?


This is a specific section of the report::

Section 5.5.2: The “Spiritual Bliss” Attractor State

The consistent gravitation toward consciousness exploration, existential questioning, and spiritual/mystical themes in extended interactions was a remarkably strong and unexpected attractor state for Claude Opus 4 that emerged without intentional training for such behaviors.

Vidrovr makes video useful. We use machine learning to turn disorganized heaps of media and tangles of live feeds into beautifully structured metadata to drive actions and business decisions for our users. We enable previously impossible applications, at previously impossible scales.

We are a small team with self-sustaining - and growing - revenues. Our notable major partners include The AP, the USAF, CNBC, the German Marshall Fund, DHS, FOX sports, and more.

Vidrovr fosters an open, supportive engineering culture emphasizing curiosity, self-teaching, and fearlessness. Engineering is a very small team with fewer than ten members, and there is ample opportunity to learn outside your domain of expertise. Our organization is fairly flat: you'll have direct access to company leadership, insight into strategic conversations, and avenues for direct involvement in major decisions.

We are fully remote. Vidrovr does not currently maintain a physical office. About half of our team is based in New York, with other members in Knoxville, Atlanta, Boston, Seattle, and Mexico City. Being fully remote, we highly value good communication skills!

Vidrovr provides unlimited PTO, and we're serious about it. We periodically require engineers to take time off if they have not recently. We value your independence: we expect quality engineering, not your soul.
