Cognichip is developing the world’s first Artificial Chip Intelligence (ACI®) to reimagine chip design. Led by experts from Amazon, Google, Apple, Synopsys, Aquantia, and KLA, Cognichip is tackling two major challenges in semiconductor development: high cost and inaccessibility. Cognichip’s ACI® introduces a breakthrough, physics-informed AI foundation model, purposely built for semiconductor design. ACI® fundamentally rethinks 40 years of traditional, serial chip development with a modern, AI-first, conversational design approach, leveraging large-scale, secure, accelerated compute infrastructures. From individuals to enterprises, ACI® allows engineering teams to work more efficiently and cost-effectively, elevating artificial intelligence as the new scaling factor for the semiconductor industry.
