I sent in a larger, slightly more complex board to JLCPCB over the weekend and it was $175 for 5 boards with components and assembly. Shipping, tariffs (ouch), and sales taxes added another ~$100 or so.

gpt-oss-120b only has 5B active parameters, so its not surprising Qwen3.8 27B outperforms it (Qwen3.8 is also ~13 months newer, which is forever in LLMs)

I did that with Codex+Sol alone, and made something even more complex in less time with Codex+Astra over the weekend. Its maybe more hands on than you want it to be, but you mostly just need to supervise the work. But yes, the CAD outputs g

Because process affects performance per watt more than architecture so its a useful data point. Even knowing nothing about performance, knowing that it is N6 means it probably isnt particularly power efficient (as compared to leading edge x
