\u201cThere’s no blocker for your creativity anymore,\u201d says Vermeeren, who is now also investing in Schematik. \u201cThat’s why I’m so excited about it and building stuff constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not the only one. On Thursday, Anthropic engineer Felix Rieseberg posted on X to announce that Anthropic has now enabled \u201ca little Bluetooth API for makers and developers, allowing you to build hardware devices that interact with Claude.\u201d He also shared a picture and a GitHub link<\/a> for a device that looks very similar to Vermeeren\u2019s Clawy, though Rieseberg and Anthropic did not reply to WIRED\u2019s request for comment about whether it was directly inspired by Beek\u2019s or Vermeeren\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I inspired someone with it, I\u2019m proud,\u201d Vermeeren says. \u201cIf Anthropic built an official feature because of it, I\u2019m even prouder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just about every AI tech company seems to be making some kind of hardware device, whether it\u2019s a giant like OpenAI<\/a>, the big chipmakers<\/a>, or more niche wearables<\/a>. Beyond that, there have always been crowds of tinkerers and makers looking to build tech, whether it\u2019s to turn vapes into synthesizers<\/a> or push back against ICE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big problem in hardware is that it’s very gatekept and that very few people can do it,\u201d Beek says. \u201cI really hope that my tool can help enable more people to build, either with the tool or to learn how to build hardware through the tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vibe coding in software has its own sort of bad rap, given that it can lead to big vulnerabilities<\/a> in software. It\u2019s possible that vibe coding hardware gets to that point too, or devolves into a slog of infinite hardware-slop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith languages or images, LLMs are much more subjective about what\u2019s right or wrong,\u201d Beek says. \u201cThe nice thing about electronics is that it’s pure physics, so you can actually check.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThere’s no blocker for your creativity anymore,\u201d says Vermeeren, who is now also investing in Schematik. \u201cThat’s why…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,1463,343,344,4194,438,8439,85,46,4319,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-399178","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-anthropic","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-coding","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-hardware","15":"tag-il","16":"tag-israel","17":"tag-manufacturing","18":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
