Instachip

A research lab building autonomous chip design agents.

Request a pilot: https://t.co/5sAoQvkptq

Rolling out early access to a few select companies who want to work alongside us to perfect the tool

Then we will open it to every company

@_sathvikr @ycombinator What will we do next month?

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

Our @ycombinator cofounder video!

In 6 weeks, we built state-of-the-art (SOTA) chip design agents, and caught 5 bugs in a certain company's next AI chip (saving an estimated $5M)

Thanks @_sathvikr and @JagMaddipatla for meeting me at Stanford! I’m sure your skills will take @getinstachip to great heights.

Omg

@Etched

Prompt: "design an ASIC chip that perfectly implements a transformer architecture, with minimal underutilized resources"

Our agent took ~45 mins!

Tbh I cannot speak to the quality of this one as I don't know what goes into a production grade transformer ASIC.

But I'm gonna try to put this onto an FPGA because I'm extremely curious to play around with it, and to see how it actually works

[Instachip @getinstachip]

Chip designers have been forwarding requests to our agents, even before being publicly available!

What's a SystemVerilog task you'd like to see completed?

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

This is an interesting demo because it pushes the LLMs to solve problems closer to actual digital logic, instead of the typical BS boilerplate implementation from chatgpt

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

you've heard of software agents, but have you ever seen a hardware agent?

at @getinstachip, our hardware agents can design complex circuits autonomously.

on a whim, I asked one of our agents to solve Problem 155 from HDLBits 👇

pip install TPU is crazy

[Diann @heyimdiann]

this fpga in berkeley will make history in a few months.

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

got back from @openai just now—really excited to see o1 improve drastically.

also excited to announce that @getinstachip's circuit design capabilities are now powered by the o1 series!

an example: generating a README for your .v or .sv module 👇👇 (https://t.co/nQpp67N4LH)

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

Embedding thousands of chip designs…

@getinstachip @openai 👀🤫

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

excited, @getinstachip x @openai??? 👀

[Instachip @getinstachip]

Just in 1 month! Will pack in much more value soon... 👀

[Jagadeepram Maddipatla @JagMaddipatla]

Let the games begin 💰

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

At least our users love us

pip install TPU is crazy

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

Recently, @evanlin designed an open-source TPU (from scratch).

With @getinstachip, YOU can "pip install" Evan's TinyTPU into your own project!

How? Check it out 👇

Our @ycombinator product demo!

tldr: pip install components into your circuit design

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

In the future, running software will have one additional step:

Booting up custom hardware for your program.

1. vpm load // load custom hardware
2. vpm build // build program.cpp on hardware
3. vpm run // run program.cpp

[Instachip @getinstachip]

demo dropping soon

The future is software for hardware.

- pip install a RISC-V core
- automatically connect ports and synthesize onto Xilinx
- Generate your bitstream
