For years, AI in EDA has been about speed — making simulations run 10x, 100x, even 1000x faster. That progress mattered. But as we spoke with customers, a different bottleneck became clear: engineers aren’t spending most of their time waiting on tools to run. They’re spending it setting them up, debugging failures, digging through logs, tuning options, and relearning complex workflows across dozens of tools.    That’s the problem our Fuse EDA AI System is designed to solve.    Instead of simply accelerating engines under the hood, this system focuses on accelerating engineers. It can validate commands directly against tools, analyze logs to diagnose and fix failures, interpret complex PDK documentation, automate batch simulation recovery, and generate measurements or configurations that previously took hours to figure out. And it’s not a standalone chatbot — it’s deeply integrated across the EDA workflow, from schematic to simulation to PCB, with secure, retrieval-based architecture that runs inside the customer’s environment.    The result isn’t just faster runtime. It’s reclaimed design time.    And the most consistent feedback we hear? Once engineers try it, they immediately start imagining ten more ways it could help.   That’s when you know it’s more than a feature. It’s the start of a new way to work.    Watch the full conversation with Niranjan Sitapure, PhD, Jeff Dyck, and Ryan Silk here: https://lnkd.in/gCZvQkhD     #AI #SemiconductorIndustry
