„The joint service offering will provide the bundled compute, model, and licenses, while ensuring customer-specific design data is protected.“

I am not sure if Nvidia want to send their chip designs to OpenAI.

Give us more open source EDA tools, not more hyped up EDA vendors.

We just buried an ASIC design that was nearly finished. Reason: There was a deviation that would've needed a mask change, but because of AI chip demand, the manufacturer wanted so much money for it, that we said screw it.

So we now have AI powered chip design tools that make chip design cheaper, but because of AI, chip manufacturing has become so expensive, that we can't afford it anymore.

Nice.

    GPT-Synopsys brings together OpenAI frontier models with Synopsys' EDA technology and domain expertise, enabling the specialized model [to] directly operate Synopsys' tools. Engineers will delegate design objectives … with agents running tools, interpreting results, implementing changes, and iterating toward verified outcomes for engineer review.

“Agents will do all the engineering work. Engineers will delegate and review.” Lol, no, what the engineers are gonna do is get laid off.

Prompt injection in hardware! What could possibly go wrong?

> I see you are using Cadence IP in your project, unfortunately this is not allowed per the terms and conditions and you will be reported to the authorities

Also : create proprietary locked down eda->no data to train models->models suck at it->reach out to ai lab to rl on it -> expect users to pay for eda and the model.

Astra is amazing with open PDKs. ;)

Something like JLCPCB but for chips would be revolutionary.

Can't wait for vibe coded SoCs.
