Understand the story
In a SEMICON West interview, Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi discussed the company's progress on AI-driven autonomous chip design. He said the company has deployed over 40 task agents, and some customers can already hand a spec to the Synopsys Autonomous Agent, which automatically generates and verifies RTL. According to Ghazi, a spec-to-verified-RTL flow that once took teams of engineers months can now be done this way. He also stressed that fully autonomous chip design has not yet been achieved today.
