What Hacker News says
4 sourcesTL/DW: they put ESP-32 inside the calculator and connected it to TI-link port internally. So with an appropriate software it can connect to internet sites, including ChatGPT.
Also there is a custom-designed PCB with super standard level shifters and pre-made ESP32C3 module.

TL;DW: he made a small pcb with a wifi module that is not affected by the Test mode of the calculator and not outwardly visible to an inspection.
The wifi device allows access to ChatGPT.
He plans to put a camera for his next video.
