AI brief

OpenAI and Synopsys are building GPT-Synopsys, an AI model for chip design that is intended to operate Synopsys' EDA tools like a seasoned engineer and optimize designs on its own. Early tests with semiconductor customers are underway.

Why it matters: The model aims to automate chip design work by operating existing EDA tools and optimizing designs on its own.
