Cognichip wants AI to design the chips that power AI, and just raised $60M to try | TechCrunch
""These systems have now become intelligent enough that by just guiding them and telling them what the result is that you want, it can actually produce beautiful code," Aalaei told TechCrunch."
"Aalaei's goal is to bring the kind of AI tools that software engineers have used to speed their work into the semiconductor design space."
"The company says its advantage is in using its own model trained on chip design data, rather than starting with a generic model."
Cognichip is developing a deep learning model to assist engineers in chip design, addressing the complexity and high costs associated with the process. Advanced chips can take years to develop, and market changes can render investments obsolete. The CEO, Faraj Aalaei, believes AI tools can streamline semiconductor design, potentially reducing costs by over 75% and timelines by more than half. The company has raised $60 million in funding and a total of $93 million since its inception in 2024, although it has yet to showcase a chip designed with its technology.
