Bijan Bowen asks a locally run Qwen modelA local model runs on computing infrastructure controlled directly by the user rather than only through a remote model service. to help design an ESP32 GPS speedometer and supplies measurements for its display, antenna and enclosure. The model generates firmware and a printable case design.
Bijan Bowen prints and assembles the components, then uses a separate coding agent alongside the local modelAn AI coding agent is a tool-using AI system that can inspect, modify, and validate software within a repository. to transfer files, flash firmware and troubleshoot a blank and mirrored display. He observes both useful results and remaining imperfections.
He also tests a local video-generation workflow using a photograph of the deviceReference-driven prompting uses selected visual or media examples to guide the content, lighting, composition, style, motion, or structure of an AI generation request.. The episode is a hands-on example rather than a controlled comparison of models.
