In this paper we report preliminary results of experiments with finding efficient circuits (over binary bases) using SAT-solvers. We present upper bounds for functions with constant number of inputs as well as general upper bounds that were found automatically. We focus mainly on MOD-functions. Besides theoretical interest, these functions are also interesting from a practical point of view as they are the core of the residue number system. In particular, we present a circuit of size 3n+c over the full binary basis computing MOD 3 n.
