AI Agent Designs a RISC-V CPU Core From Scratch
In 2020, researchers fine-tuned a GPT-2 model to design fragments of logic circuits ; in 2023, researchers used GPT-4 to help design an 8-bit processor with a novel instruction set; by 2024, a variety of LLMs could design and test chips with basic functionality, like dice rolls (though often these were flawed). Now Verkor.io, an AI chip design startup, claims…
