See Autonomous Chip Design in Action with ChipAgents at DAC 2026
Making the AI wave at DAC 2026 in Long Beach
DAC is coming to Long Beach for the first time, and AI is taking center stage. Across the semiconductor industry, teams are asking the same questions: Where is AI actually helping chip design today? What can be trusted in production workflows? How far are we from autonomous design, verification, and debugging?
The ChipAgents team are bringing those answers to DAC 2026 through live demos, technical sessions, customer presentations, and real-world engineering results.
Here's every way to connect with us at DAC.
Catch Our TechTalk with Analog Devices
From Hype to Impact: Where Agentic AI Actually Delivers Value in Chip Design Today
Wednesday, July 29, 2026 | 11:15 AM – 12:00 PM | DAC Pavilion, Exhibit Floor
What if you could bring AI into your existing EDA flows without disrupting the methodologies your teams already trust? Join this TechTalk with ChipAgents Founder and CEO William Wang and Analog Devices Senior Director Nimay Shah. They will take a grounded look at how agentic AI is being applied across real chip design workflows, including architectural exploration, RTL quality analysis, verification acceleration, physical design optimization, and design closure.
Whether you are a design engineer, verification leader, CAD manager, or technology executive, this session offers a practical framework for separating AI impact from AI hype.

More Technical Updates from ChipAgents
ChipAgents will be featured in multiple sessions and posters across DAC. Here are three technical sessions to add to your schedule.
#1 Autonomous Root Cause Analysis at Commercial Scale
Monday, July 27 | 1:45pm - 2:15pm PDT | Exhibitor Forum
Debugging remains one of the most time-consuming parts of frontend ASIC development, requiring engineers to navigate millions of lines of HDL, massive waveform data, and complex failure traces.
This session showcases how ChipAgents performs end-to-end root cause analysis using both code and waveform data at commercial scale. Evaluated across commercial-scale IPs including bus fabrics, RISC-V cores, PCIe, and DDR, ChipAgents achieved over 3× higher pass-at-one accuracy than state-of-the-art generic AI agents.
#2 AI-Driven Timing Closure
Tuesday, July 28 | 1:45pm - 2:15pm PDT | Exhibitor Forum
Timing closure is one of the most painful iteration loops in chip design. A single violation can send teams through hours or days of tool runs, report analysis, RTL investigation, and PPA tradeoff decisions before a fix can be validated.
Our R&D teams will examine the domain-specific capabilities required beyond general code generation, including timing report understanding, RTL mapping, design intent preservation, and PPA-aware decision-making. They will also share ChipAgents' approach to autonomous RTL pipelining and the lessons learned from applying agent-driven workflows to real timing closure challenges.
#3 The New Era of Digital Verification
Engineering Poster Session One
Digital verification is under more pressure than ever. Teams are expected to reach high functional and code coverage, build reliable formal and UVM environments, accelerate debug, and still meet increasingly aggressive project schedules.
This joint paper with STMicroelectronics shows how agentic AI can automate the verification flow from end to end. Built around the ChipAgents platform, the methodology applies AI agents across the IC verification lifecycle from specification understanding and test planning to verification code generation, debugging, and results analysis.
Notably, specification reading time was reduced by 15×, formal assertion generation by 240×, and UVM environment creation by 400×. Most importantly, these gains are achieved under the full control of the verification engineer.
Explore the poster to see how ChipAgents help your teams achieve similar results.
