Opus 5.5 has been really good in PCB layout work, better than Astra. So Fable 5.2, which could be even better at PCBs, is a welcome adddition. I'm making PCBs I could not even dream of without AI. Textbook market disruption on global scale.
replyCan you share some result ? I've seen some and not really impressed. Their layout is just weird, and i doubt it passes anything apart from "2 points are connected together".
replyThe horizontal IN1 lines you see was because I explicitly requested one direction per layer as a routing style. This job was Opus 5.5 and took about 8 hours. It relied on a custom PCB viewer and KiCAD 11 (unreleased) because it has a headless IPC mode. The agents used kypi (official module) to work with KiCAD programmatically. The API does not alow showing the board view with net labels, so the custom viewer was needed. They also ran custom IR solvers to identify weak pours. Schematics were in Skidl, this helps the agent comphrehend the design better than a KiCAD shematic would.

replyPS Astra and Opus were both good with schematics (and Fable), but Astra was notably worse at layout than Opus. Astra can still review layouts well, just not make them as well (n=1 though).
What happened at pin 32/33 of the IC at bottom ?
replyIt's right next to a GND via on the same GND pour. I use GND pours on all layers. A GND island would have failed loudly in DRC.
replyI mean the trace connecting to it
replyOh, that one. That's art. The electrons won't mind.
