summary: "A new specialized AI model will use Synopsys electronic design automation (EDA) tools to automate semiconductor engineering tasks including PPA optimization and timing closure. Named GPT-Synopsys, the model employs agents that run tools, interpret results and iterate on designs for engineer review. It will run on OpenAI-hosted infrastructure and integrate with Synopsys AI and Synopsys Autopilot to streamline workflows for chip designers. OpenAI and Synopsys signed a multi-year agreement to jointly develop and market the product under a shared revenue framework. As part of the arrangement, OpenAI will license Synopsys' EDA tools for the development of the specialized model. The companies stated that early customer engagements for the platform are already underway."
