new component placement skill in Backplane led to us fooling ~30% of commenters vs. ~5% on this test.
GPT models perform much better than Claude models for component placement, FYI.
this is called going beastmode
Hey uh @BackplaneWorks I had this idea while driving here is a brain dump...
Project created and schematic started while I am away from my PC in literally 30 seconds. I come back to my desk and I already have hours of progress done
Neat!
sry for the amount of lalamo slop that you're seeing in the README, in Backplane tooling, in docs. it's being rewritten by a human now. PLEASE BEAR WITH US
we will merge the PR, I had my robot look at it. I trust you. Backplane—it’s about trust. It’s not about hardware ;— it’s about trust
Replying to @observie
I run a headless KiCad agent setup using @BackplaneWorks
Also if you want to be more hands on you could try the Konnect MCP, I use it all the time and it has a bunch of great tools
leave it to a pair of nasty stinking EE chuds to DEMOLISH every other """"proompt -> CAD"""" startup (not real btw) and also REVOLUTIONIZE LaLaMo psychosis

New @BackplaneWorks build pipeline for local iteration.
I have too many ideas to open up a PR for each one, so now my agents can run a local fork and continually improve it.
Structured around pushing changes to upstream only after they are tested with real work
