OpenAI and Synopsys partner on GPT-Synopsys chip-design model

OpenAI and Synopsys will build GPT-Synopsys, a model meant to operate EDA tools for chip design under engineer review.

OpenAI and Synopsys announced a multi-year partnership to develop GPT-Synopsys, a specialized model intended to reason about semiconductor design and verification and to operate Synopsys electronic design automation tools. OpenAI will license Synopsys EDA software, and the model will run on OpenAI infrastructure, with planned integration into Synopsys.ai and Synopsys Autopilot. The companies say the system would interpret tool output and iterate on power, performance, and area, while engineers delegate design objectives and approve outputs. Customer design data will not be used for training and will be stored encrypted. Early tests or customer engagements with semiconductor customers are underway, and the companies will jointly market the product and share revenue. The two reports agree on the partnership, product name, data handling, and commercialization; the later report adds the power-performance-area goal and the Synopsys.ai and Autopilot integration.
