Briefing
Opus's error was in the explanation: one run said an LED on GPIO2 could force the chip into download mode. On an ADC1 question, Sonnet always left out GPIO37 and GPIO38. A GPIO20 question also went to GPT models and Claude Haiku 4.5, whose answers wavered.
Conway's advice: name the exact part, compile before flashing and treat the model's output as a hypothesis. The headline says the models were right two-thirds of the time; the article does not show how that figure was computed. No boards were flashed or damaged.
