At Hot Chips 2026, OpenAI presented Jalapeño, an inference ASIC built with AI in the design loop. As reported from the session by ServeTheHome and Tom’s Hardware, OpenAI showed measured block-level wins over a human baseline — 56% on a BF16 multiply, alongside a 10% smaller matrix-unit area — within a roughly nine-month path from… Read More
The TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum highlighted many accomplishments across TSMC’s vast ecosystem. Specific achievements with TSMC as well as collaborative work across several companies were all on display.
And there was an exhibit area where you could meet the companies behind many of these stories and learn more about them.

Agentic AI is beginning to move semiconductor engineering beyond copilots and isolated task automation.
From Agentrys’ public material and recent discussion, its architecture points toward a broader engineering flow:
Specification → RTL → verification → synthesis / physical design → PPA optimization → physical verification… Read More
Daniel is joined by Mark Ren, founder and CEO of Agentrys. Mark has 26 years of EDA and AI R&D experience spanning IBM Research and NVIDIA Research, driving design automation innovations that power modern chip design. He received the IBM Corporate Award for contributions to the design closure for high-performance microprocessors.… Read More
Agentrys recently launched a new category of design technology, Agentic Design Automation (ADA). The approach promises to revolutionize AI deployment for chip design with technology that facilitates the building of targeted agentic design flows that get better with every run. There is a lot of information available on the … Read More
Agentrys believes that a purpose-built multi-agent system for chip design shouldn’t be a quarter-long project. Agentic AI systems are becoming quite popular to cut design time and increase quality for complex chip design projects. The challenge is finding the right agentic flow for a particular application. There are… Read More
Hot Chips 2026, formally the thirty-eighth Symposium on High Performance Chips, arrives at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium from August 23 through 25 with a program that captures a decisive shift in computer architecture. Peak arithmetic throughput remains important, but the conference is increasingly about system balance:… Read More
There were many new agentic design flows introduced at DAC this year. Some from mainstream providers and others from new startups. The increased level of activity around this technology was good to see. Most of the approaches presented at the conference were targeting specific parts of the flow. Verification and debug were popular… Read More
The face of EDA is changing. For forty years, this industry has focused on optimizing algorithms for design, verification and implementation of chips. That work has delivered some ground-breaking innovations. Logic synthesis is a good example. There are so many more. Thanks to the innovations commonly referred to as Frontier… Read More
Si2 is conducting quite a few sessions at DAC this year covering everything from power model standards to agentic AI. There is one session that is a bit different, focusing on LLM benchmarking. Since AI is popping up everywhere, the ability to accurately assess and measure the quality of new models becomes more important. That’s… Read More
