Talks from the Future of Chip Design Theatre — sign in to watch.
AI's Impact on Next-Gen Engineers
Kexun Zhang (ChipAgents)
Explore Vibe Coding, Agentic Management, and the Future of Next-Gen Engineers in this in-depth talk by ChipAgents Head of Research.
Renoir: ChipAgents' First Model
Tanay Biradar (ChipAgents)
The step-by-step guide to ChipAgents first Model: Renoir.
AI Agent-Driven Timing Closure
Dakota Barnes & Nik Belle (ChipAgents)
Use loops to understand how AI Agents can be applied to solve one of the industry's biggest bottlenecks: Timing Closure.
AI-powered Root Cause Analysis for Advanced Silicon Design
Zackary Glazewski (ChipAgents)
ChipAgents Founding AI Engineer walks you through Hardware debugging using ChipAgents RCA: the first autonomous, agentic AI system for end-to-end ASIC root cause analysis.
AI-Native Chip Design: From Physics to Silicon
Karthik Chandrasekaran (NVIDIA)
How closed-loop, autonomous engineering systems reason across specs, RTL, and verification context to take chip design from physics to silicon end to end.
Formal Verification for Scalable IP and SoC Design in the Era of AI
David Vincenzoni (STMicroelectronics)
First-silicon success demands 100% functional verification and code coverage. Coverage-driven UVM gets you there, but it's demanding, slow to learn, and hard to debug. How formal verification, amplified by AI, scales IP and SoC verification instead.
FPGA-Based Prototyping Today and Tomorrow with AI
Stefano Cumia (STMicroelectronics)
Inside ST's FPGA prototyping flow for pre- and post-silicon validation, with Python-automated lab testing, and where AI can take it next: automatically mapping RTL to FPGA resources and generating lightweight test benches that reproduce lab behavior for fast debug.
AI-Accelerated Chip Design Workflows on AWS
Jhen-Wei Huang (AWS)
How AWS tackles the time, compute, and talent bottlenecks of semiconductor design with secure, scalable EDA infrastructure and domain-expert AI agents deployed inside private VPCs, including a customer that cut design cycles from 30 to 18 months.
