💡 Interesting article from Addy Osmani, Director at Google Cloud AI about harnesses and agents: https://lnkd.in/e_cF69iW A decent model with a great harness consistently beats a great model with a bad harness. At Chipmind 🐿️ we double down on this. We are LLM-agnostic, the value comes from the Chipmind Agent Harness: An agent is less about the model, what is hard is building a productive harness: systems, tools, context, workflows, validation, and feedback loops around it. In the complex reality of large-scale chip design and EDA environments, you need more than just a smart model—you need a Harness. This distinction matters a lot in chip design. 🎯 Building a harness that lets agents work reliably and productively within highly fragmented environments unique to every SoC and design team is a massive engineering lift. No two workflows are identical, and bridging that gap requires deep domain expertise. At Chipmind, we have the engine to build a custom Chip Design Agent Harness for you — so you can keep your teams focused on the chips. #ai #eda #agents #chipdesign #agentharness #semiconductor

We asked Chipmind John 🐿️, one of our Chip Design AI Agent Engineers, to add a SHA crypto-core to a System-on-Chip. Then went for a coffee ☕. By the time we were back, he had done the job. ⏱️ 20 minutes. 📄 15 files changed. ✅ CI tests passed. Zero human interactions. John didn't just generate code, he navigated an existing chip design environment and EDA tools where he 🎯 Integrated the core and wrote the necessary OBI-to-AXI bridge. 🎯 Extended the RTL testbench and firmware tests. 🎯 Successfully ran the simulations and passed the CI tests. 🎯 Received a pass from a final human review. John doesn't build RTL IP from scratch in isolation. Like all Chipmind Agents, he works directly within your existing designs. By leveraging Chipmind's Agentic Reasoning Engine — fueled by domain knowledge and Claude Sonnet as LLM — John masters the specific environment and its constraints to deliver autonomous, functionally correct design changes. The quality of results is at a human engineering level, but at machine speed. Check out 🐿️ John’s "point of view" in the video below👇 and the GitHub pull request here: https://lnkd.in/eHFByiCN Kudos to the Croc team (PULP Platform) and Joachim Strömbergson from Secworks! #ai #eda #agents #chipdesign #semiconductor

What a week! 🐿️ We’re humbled by the support and energized by the momentum as Chipmind accelerates through Q4 🚀 This past week has been a milestone – valuable customer conversations and coverage from: Forbes The Wall Street Journal Pro VC Newsletter Business Insider Yahoo Finance Semiconductor Engineering Electronics Weekly ...and many others highlighting the problem we’re here to solve: 👉 The world needs chips, faster. 👉 But engineering teams shouldn't be forced to rip out their entire toolchain just to be "AI-native". Chipmind is showing that it is possible to speed up chip development with an agentic task-solving solution that deeply understands the development environment. We're just getting started on the journey towards our goal: let AI do the chips, so humans can focus on the impossible. 🐿️ #ai #eda #agents #semiconductor #forbes #startup #zurich

At Infineon Technologies Summer School 2025, Chipmind’s CTO Sandro Belfanti shared our perspective on the future of chip design— and joined a great panel discussion with other AI experts. AI agents are transforming chip design step by step. At Chipmind, we believe the key question is not if but how the role of the engineer will evolve. #EDA #Semiconductors #AI #FutureOfWork #ChipDesign

We’re excited to announce that Chipmind 🐿️ has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program — NVIDIA’s initiative for startups pushing the boundaries of AI and computing. 🚀 For us, this is a big step forward in our mission to bring agentic AI to chip design – making the process faster, smarter, and more accessible. With NVIDIA’s support, we can accelerate our research and development, explore new architectures, and push the limits of what automated chip design can achieve. At Chipmind, we believe that developing chips faster and lowering the entry barrier will unlock new possibilities for the world. We’re grateful to be part of such a forward-thinking ecosystem and thank you NVIDIA for Startups for welcoming us into the program and for helping us achieve our vision: let AI do the chips! #NVIDIAInception #eda #semiconductor #agents #ai #agenticai #zurich #swissstartup
