IT’S ALIVE 🔥
First power-up of my FABLE 5 + KiCad backplane and… it just works.
All LEDs lit, USB-C connected, no magic smoke 😂
This is the real thing. Next level loading…
Who else is building crazy hardware in 2026? 👀

🚨 I let AI design a completely insane PCB… and it actually works I gave Claude + Cursor + Flux + KiCad one crazy prompt: “Design a credit-card-sized PCB that can run a small neural network without any GPU, generate AI art in real-time, and run on USB-C power only.” What I got back blew my mind: * 6-layer board * Weird analog “neuron” circuits using discrete transistors * USB-C that handles both power + video output * And components that don’t even exist 😂 Full prompt + KiCad files + Gerbers dropping in the comments if enough people want it.Is this the future of hardware or just peak AI hallucination?

@AIEnthusiastIM Thanks! Next is hooking up the full 4-slot backplane.
Multi-node on USB-C power only
wish me luck 😂

@Error404Wit No magic smoke = success! That clean relay module layout with microcontroller integration is exactly the kind of precision hardware design that pushes things forward. What's the next step?
English
Holy shit guys… look at this 😂
Just finished the front + back of my custom 4-slot PCIe backplane.
Fully designed in KiCad with the new FABLE 5 backend.
Left = front, right = back.
This thing is real now. Something stupidly big is coming 👀

🚀 Just watched AI design and route an entire power board in seconds...
And yes - it actually looks professional.
This is a full custom AC/DC + USB + control board I built using advanced AI (Claude Fable 5).
From idea to fully routed, ready-for-fab in hours.
✅ Clean layout
✅ Proper power isolation
✅ Everything mounted and labeled
The future of hardware development is here.
Who else is building crazy PCBs with AI in 2026?
Looking for partners & sponsors to take this to the next level 🔥
DM me.

i've done hardware for years. just let an AI place and route a full 16-channel 250V mains relay board. all 4 layers. manufacturable.
what surprised me: the layout wasn't the hard part. keeping it from confidently designing something wrong was.
it'll happily hand you a board that looks clean and would fail creepage on a mains net. the whole game is forcing it to verify — datasheet, clearances, DRC — at every single step.
that's the part worth learning. not the prompt.

i let Fable 5 do the full placement + routing on a 6-layer industrial board. 32 isolated channels, 5A each, CAN bus, +24V power plane. pulled the JLCPCB quote today — $61, fully assembled, 5 days to my door. never actually sent an AI-designed board to fab before. genuinely can't tell if ordering it is brilliant or stupid. would you pull the trigger?
English
asked the AI to place a 48-LED board.
front: the "concentric rings" are more of a vibe than a fact, and it parked a few LEDs directly on the mounting holes.
back: it stacked every reference designator into one unreadable pile and called it done.
confident. so confident. wrong, but confident.
English
48 → 96 LEDs and it finally learned what a concentric ring is. one feedback loop later 💿

update: it heard you. same AI, same board, after one feedback loop: 96 LEDs (double the last one), actual concentric rings this time, li-ion + USB-C charging, and every ref designator… hidden - because the assembly files exist, so technically who's it hurting. routing done. copper pours next. still confident. slightly less wrong.

@meghan_xu technically valid tokens. DRC is just a downstream consumer problem 🙃
English
@Error404Wit stacking every designator in one spot is just peak token optimization. it successfully generated the text, physical reality is your problem now 💀
English
AI designed my whole board in 30 seconds and i was genuinely stunned.
then i noticed it mounted the DIN connector backwards.
so. we're safe. for now. 😅

@LeafShotAI @AnthropicAI honestly, fair. the raw model IS bad - it'll confidently route a board that catches fire (exhibit A: the backwards DIN).
what actually works is model + a hard verification loop (DRC, datasheet checks) at every step. that combo is genuinely useful now. the model alone, no
English
@Error404Wit @AnthropicAI Unfortunately, these models are still really bad at hardware - even routing (one of the first tasks tackled by "ai").
English
@dg1kjd @AnthropicAI yeah the pace is the wild part. this was one prompt + a verification loop, not some fine-tuned pipeline. 4-5 months might be generous.
English
@Error404Wit @AnthropicAI That's still decently impressive and only a matter of optimization. Give it ~4 to 5 months.
