Chad Wallace(@siliconcodesign):It's very easy to be overly optimistic about how AI impacts chip design if you're not the one accountable for it. I wrote a comprehensive deep dive that goes into depth about where AI currently adds value in chip design from engineers at @DACconference. First, I show how RTL can certainly be vibe coded like @AnthropicAI is doing. However, I go one step further and explain how AI doesn't have very good system-level reasoning capabilities to orchestrate computationally-intensive tool calls. I also explain how simulation compute is a big bottleneck in verifying and signing off designs with golden sign-off tools.
