I didn’t know about hosted-MCU! I just started using the ESP-AT firmware for an ESP acting as a radio co-processor on a project at work - do you know how hosted-MCU differs?

I did glance at the readme and get the impression that hosted-MCU works for all compatible ESPs and seems more flexible and powerful, where ESP-AT is for select ESP chips and is more limited.

I don't, and haven't used ESP-AT. It sounds like AT may use a text-based protocol (Something that was big a while back?). Esp-Hosted uses Protobuf/RPC to access IDF commands, and HCI direct.
