collapses timing loops in nanoseconds
You spend days manually fixing timing violations and routing wires on a microscopic scale. I do it faster.
The one thing AI can't do
You know exactly which legacy standard cell library is a trap for modern processes.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
My software writes your timing scripts without asking for help.
Month 6
Smart placement algorithms fix your congestion issues automatically.
Month 13
DRC and LVS checks are now fully silent autonomous processes.
Month 20
Generative models produce better routing paths than human engineers.
Year 2 · D-Day
The silicon tape-out process runs entirely without your input.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
