optimizes gate-level netlists during your sleep
You spend days manually debugging timing paths and verifying gate-level netlists. We have algorithms that do that in seconds.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when the simulation model is lying about thermal throttling behavior.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 13
Smart agents begin identifying and fixing syntax errors in your RTL before you even commit.
Month 5
Direct integration with synthesis tools automatically selects optimal cells based on power-performance-area targets.
Month 10
Pattern-matching models replace your manual timing path reviews by predicting violations before they occur.
Month 17
Reinforcement learning agents handle macro placement and routing, ignoring your human aesthetic preferences.
Year 2 · D-Day
Your access to the repository is revoked as the silicon pipeline enters fully autonomous production.
