Reflections on DVCon 2025: AI Agents Take Center Stage 🚀

Standing room only. That was the scene at ChipAgents' debut on Monday's session at DVCon 2025, where we unveiled the industry's first AI-driven agents for functional verification, debugging, design, and spec understanding. Seeing the energy in the room and the deep engagement from engineers and verification leaders made one thing clear—the era of AI-native design tools has arrived.
On Tuesday, at Microsoft and Synopsys' keynote, Artour Levin delivered a bold challenge to the industry: move from 2-3 year tapeouts to 1-year cycles. With the rapid iteration of AI workloads, the traditional EDA paradigm needs to evolve, and AI-native tools like ChipAgents will be at the forefront of enabling this transformation.
On Wednesday: But verifying AI chips remains a formidable challenge, as discussed in the panel featuring experts from Siemens, AMD, Meta, Groq, and MatX. AI chips are no longer just accelerators; they are highly complex, heterogeneous systems requiring new verification methodologies—from functional coverage for AI workloads to system-level validation of massive parallelism and memory hierarchies.
🔍 What's next? At ChipAgents, we're pushing the boundaries to make AI-driven verification a reality. If you're building next-generation chips, let's connect—because the future of AI-assisted design and verification is happening now. Book a demo with us today at chipagents.ai.
