Embedded Arena: agents deploy models to microcontrollers with hardware feedback
Zhihan Zhang and colleagues, mostly at the University of Washington, published Embedded Arena, a benchmark that scores agents' model and firmware edits on microcontrollers. Boards include a MAX78000, an ESP32-S3 and an STM32N6. The paper reports Claude Opus 4.7 and Gemini 3.1 Pro failing every deployment without hardware feedback; with it, the first success came within 3 iterations.

Espressif on Code with Claude: Cardputers, Claude Code and Desktop Buddy
Espressif published a recap on 14 May of ESP32 projects from Anthropic's Code with Claude event, where each attendee got an ESP32-S3 M5Stack Cardputer. Attendees described a program in plain language, and Claude Code wrote and flashed it. The post also covers Claude Desktop Buddy, a BLE reference design on the M5StickC Plus, and Espressif's own ESP Desktop Buddy library.
