  In June, we taped out CN101, the world’s first thermodynamic computing chip. We’re now sharing early bring-up results from the first thermodynamic ASIC, showing how a physics-based approach can enable stochastic, stateful, and asynchronous computation directly in silicon.

  Design verification still depends on engineers manually reading hundreds of pages of JEDEC specs and translating them into testable representations. We've released DRAMBench, an open benchmark for autoformalizing DRAM specs and the paper behind it, presented at the

  Chip design verification consumes up to 70% of the engineering effort on a project, and a significant chunk of that time goes to one task: reading hundreds of pages of natural language specifications and manually translating them into formal, testable representations. We have

  Took a stab at the Zen of Agentic Software: Explicit is better than virtual The agent should see what you see You should see what the agent sees Build systems the agent can observe, test, and repair Give the agent good tools Prefer working with text The best tool is often a CLI
