OpenAI, Synopsys Build Chip Design AI Model

OpenAI and Synopsys signed a multi-year partnership to build GPT-Synopsys, an AI model that reasons about chip design and operates Synopsys' electronic design automation tools directly. Engineers delegate objectives and approve output. Early tests with semiconductor customers are underway. OpenAI licenses the EDA tools, hosts the model, and shares revenue with Synopsys. Customer data stays encrypted and is not used for training.
