Adsum Networks concluded the 2023 series on Ethics in Tech titled The Compass.

Building Adsum IoT Coder, the AI coding agent purpose-built for IoT firmware. It captures live logs from your hardware, debugs across chips and devices, and catches the failures general-purpose agents cannot even see. On our open benchmark, running the same model, it resolved nearly twice the bugs of Claude Code at 3.8× better token efficiency, and up to 13× on individual tasks. For 8 years we have built embedded firmware on Nordic nRF and other SoC platforms, living inside the bugs that never show up in source code: state that breaks silently after a reconnect, devices that go unconnectable with zero errors, faults that only surface when you correlate logs across two boards. General coding agents have no answer for these. So we built one that does. What makes it work is real human expertise, not just a model. The tool runs on a curated knowledge architecture: nRF Connect SDK and Zephyr expertise authored by engineers who have shipped, loaded on demand and scoped to the task. It reasons like an embedded engineer, not a general model guessing at hardware. And we hold ourselves to it. Every release is measured against leading agentic coding tools on real hardware through our open benchmark, IoT-FirmwareDebugBench, so the difference always reflects architecture, not raw model power. We re-run it as the tool, the models, and the field evolve. Open source under Apache 2.0. Now shipping for Espressif ESP as well as Nordic nRF, with BLE and Wi-Fi today, and Thread, Matter, and cellular on the roadmap.
