generates optimal transistor layouts in parallel
You draft circuit logic diagrams and simulate hardware performance for silicon wafers. Then you debug timing failures.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuitively guess which signal path will cause a race condition.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI assistants suggest your RTL code optimizations before you even commit.
Month 5
Smart layout tools arrange blocks better than any human can.
Month 11
Machines fix their own timing violations without manual intervention.
Month 15
Autonomous agents generate error-free final GDSII files for the foundry.
Month 22 · D-Day
The entire design process now runs on one server rack.
