compiles billion-transistor chips while you sleep
You draft complex transistor layouts and verify signal timing. Automation now writes the gate architecture for you.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuitively guess which obscure hardware bug won't survive the fabrication process.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Your tools start fixing minor syntax errors before you see them.
Month 6
The software learns to place your logic cells better than you.
Month 13
AI handles the full synthesis run without your manual optimization.
Month 20
Generative models produce the final GDSII files autonomously.
Year 2 · D-Day
You pack your desk while the server confirms the tapeout.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
