In this special edition of Silicon Grapevine with William Wang, CEO and founder of ChipAgents, we look at silicon’s new workforce: the emergence of autonomous chip design. We explore how AI agents are changing how chips are designed, verified, and brought to market, and we dive into the shift from traditional EDA workflows to AI-driven engineering. In this process, we discuss how autonomous agents can understand specifications, generate RTL, build verification environments, debug failures, and help teams close the loop from idea to silicon faster than ever before.
