BRONCO AI: WIN THE RACE TO TAPE-OUT | BOOTH 935

Bronco AI builds AI agents for chip design and verification. Our goal is to get teams from spec to RTL-freeze as fast as possible by surfacing the nastiest bugs sooner and fixing them faster.

Our agents work the way strong engineers do: they read the spec, form hypotheses, run experiments, and chase a problem until it is root-caused, while taking into account all the ambiguity, taste, and open-ended questions that go into chip development. And they do it around the clock and at unmatched scale.

What makes this possible is that Bronco is built from the ground up for the job. We codesign the AI models, an AI-native EDA layer, and the product together, rather than bolting an agent onto tools that were never meant for it. The result is an agent that can navigate a true full-chip SoC, iterate quickly and cheaply, and keep learning from its own work over the course of your project. Everything runs on-prem, inside your environment, and we never train on your data.

Target Applications

Bronco is useful across the front-end flow, for both verification and design teams.

For verification, Bronco reviews massive specs and flags ambiguities before they become RTL bugs, builds verification plans and testbenches roughly 10x faster than manual bring-up, turns multi-day debugs into minutes, and hill-climbs functional coverage to force failures out sooner.

For designers, Bronco generates markedly better code and makes PPA-aware suggestions and fixes, exploring the design space in ways a schedule never leaves room for by hand. Every block gets exercised as soon as it is written, and designers get a stream of concrete findings ready for immediate review, catching their own bugs before they compound downstream. Design and verification stay cleanly separated; designers just stop waiting on the queue.

Teams have used Bronco on everything from single blocks to production SoCs with tens of thousands of files.

Challenges Being Addressed

Schedules slip at the front end. Bugs hide in the gap between spec and RTL, surface late in regressions, and each hard one can absorb a team for days. Designers wait on verification feedback; verification drowns in triage. Bronco attacks that whole loop: it finds problems earlier, hands engineers concrete findings they can act on immediately, and gets stronger on your design as the project goes. And it does this while remaining interoperable with your existing flows. No rip-and-replace, running in your environment after a single setup call.

Target Audience

DV engineers buried in regressions and debug, RTL designers who want their code exercised the moment it is written, verification and CAD leads evaluating AI in the flow, and engineering executives measured on time-to-market. We especially love talking to DV leads and design leads: a fleet of AI agents working under their direction gives them the most leverage, and the most visibility into what it delivers. Come with your hardest bug story; we like those.
