Designing a circuit board has long been a craft of patience: place the parts, route hundreds of copper tracks, check the factory can build it, then start over when something does not fit. On November 9, 2026, Anthropic published results suggesting an AI model can now handle most of that loop. Working with the board maker Diode Computers, it asked Claude to design three gadgets from short prompts, and all three prototypes ran without any fixes to their circuitry.

Bagel: Innovating the Way to Measure Size
Ever wonder why we use so many different tools for measuring? The Bagel Labs team had similar thoughts, and decided to create the Bagel, a smart all-in-one tape measure, which can save measurements, record voice memos, and measure just about anything.
Bagel was designed with three separate modes to tackle the wide range of circumstances in which a user needs to measure something.
String Mode: This works the same as a traditional tape measure, but due to its flexibility, can be used to mea...

Pocket Breathalyzer for measuring blood alcohol content
The iBAC alcometer is a thumb-sized, portable, breathalyzer spectrometer that measures your blood alcohol content in a way that is similar to tests done at a laboratory.
It transmits the breathalyzer reading to your smartphone via Bluetooth where an application containing your bio data such as your weight and other physical characteristics analyzes the results in about a minute.
It will measure your degree of sobriety, your alcohol burning rate and will even forecast when you will have a z...
