optimizes timing constraints in sub-millisecond windows
You spend days crafting HDL code and debugging timing violations on hardware development boards. You pray for successful bitstream generation.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuitively guess which signal trace is causing that impossible intermittent phantom glitch.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 3
AI starts fixing your sloppy syntax before compilation.
Month 5
Algorithms optimize your gate-level netlists faster than you.
Month 10
Automated agents solve timing violations while you sleep.
Month 14
Generative models verify design behavior without any manual testbenches.
Month 19 · D-Day
The machine generates the entire final bitstream autonomously.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
