Semiconductor development faces increasing complexity, faster timelines, and fierce competition, exposing the limitations of traditional EDA tools. In response, AI Agents, powered by LLMs and advanced algorithms, are emerging as next-gen solutions. This session explores how these agents surpass conventional automation by independently managing tasks like hardware modeling, constraint solving, debugging, testbench creation, and design optimization. We'll cover real-world use cases showing how AI Agents deliver improved productivity, design quality, and time-to-market, including their ability to autonomously detect bugs and optimize RTL designs.
