Field notes
Luxobench compares two proposed routes from the same lamp-building prompt rather than treating an AI response as finished engineering. The Fable 5.1 path names 18 parts, including servos, a display, camera, and Raspberry Pi 3 A+, while the GPT-6 Astra path reduces the visible list to six components centered on a pan/tilt camera-and-light kit and Raspberry Pi 4. Both routes expose estimated parts costs and lead times, but the page labels the hardware untested.
