DVCon 2025 talk min

I mentioned in an earlier blog that multiple presentations at DVCon 2025 went all-in on AI-assisted design and verification. The presentation was one such example, looking very much at top-down AI-expert application of agentic flows to design and verification. AlphaDesign is a new startup out of UC Santa Barbara headed by William… Read More
