Architect puts AI agents into layout, verification and refinement, letting hardware engineers focus on decisions instead of repetitive work.
Each agent owns one design phase, passes structured state forward, and surfaces issues before they grow into respins.
Reads the netlist and floorplan constraints, runs place-and-route, and creates a legal first layout for standard cells without engineer intervention.
Runs DRC, LVS and static timing analysis on layout output, sorts violations by severity, and sends a structured report to the Refine Agent.
Reads the violation report, applies focused ECO patches, reroutes congested sections, and iterates until the design meets sign-off criteria.

Early-access teams share figures from internal Architect tape-out flows.
Early-access teams report that Verify Agent and Refine Agent close ~60% of DRC violations without engineer intervention.
Layout Agent completes place-and-route in hours for blocks that once took multiple engineer-days to set up.
We ran Architect on a 28nm block with 400 DRC violations. Refine Agent closed 370 before our engineers reviewed the report. This is the automation our physical design flow needed.
Architect fits existing EDA toolchains and takes on labor-heavy loops that hold up tape-out schedules.
Small ASIC physical design teams spend weeks on initial layout that needs constraint compliance, not creative judgment.
Layout Agent runs constraint-based placement and routing. Engineers review the result instead of producing it.
Sign-off DRC runs can expose hundreds of violations. Manual triage and closure become the final bottleneck before tape-out.
Verify Agent and Refine Agent triage, patch and recheck violations in a loop, giving engineers a cleaned report instead of a raw list.
Third-party IP integration in an SoC floorplan creates interface routing conflicts that pass between IP and integration teams for days.
Layout Agent routes interface regions and flags conflicts needing human judgment, reducing the back-and-forth cycle.
