Claude Fable 5 designs functional PCB, surpassing Opus 4.5

A user successfully designed a custom PCB using Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model, a feat that previous advanced models like Opus 4.5 (up to 4.8) failed to achieve. The user provided a prompt detailing the desired components and functionality, and Claude Fable 5 autonomously generated the schematic and placement. Despite minor component selection errors that were quickly resolved through further interaction, the user proceeded to manufacture the boards, which functioned correctly upon arrival. This experience highlights the potential of advanced AI models in complex design tasks, though the user expressed a desire to still learn the underlying principles of PCB design. AI
