We’ve been experimenting with using large language models (LLMs) to assist in hardware design, and we’re excited to share our first project: the Deep Think PCB. This board is designed to be a versatile platform for experimenting with LLMs at the edge, and it’s built using a combination of open-source hardware and software. We detail the process of using Gemini to generate the schematic and PCB layout, the challenges we faced, and the lessons we learned. It's a fascinating look at the future of hardware design!
This article details the setup and initial testing of Goose, an open-source agent framework, paired with Ollama and the Qwen3-coder model, as a free alternative to Claude Code. It covers the installation process, initial performance observations, and a comparison to cloud-based solutions.
This article details how to build a portable AI chatbot using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, a Whisplay HAT, and a PiSugar battery for under $100. It offers a cheaper alternative to devices like the Rabbit R1 and allows for customization of the AI client used.
Vercel has released Skills.sh, an open-source tool designed to provide AI agents with a standardized way to execute reusable actions, or skills, through the command line. The project introduces what Vercel describes as an open agent skills ecosystem, where developers can define, share, and run discrete operations that agents can invoke as part of their workflows.
Crush is a Go-based CLI application that brings AI assistance to your terminal. It provides a terminal user interface (TUI) for AI coding.
