ChipAgents introduces the **Build-A-Chip-Bench**, an AI-driven benchmark for evaluating performance across the full digital integrated circuit design process. The tool assesses AI capabilities in end-to-end chip design workflows, addressing gaps in current evaluation methods. Developers and researchers can now test AI tools against standardized metrics for chip architecture optimization.
Nvidia evaluates AI tools for chip design but finds current models still fail to complete the full process. The tests highlight persistent limitations in AI’s ability to autonomously handle complex engineering workflows.
Andes Technology adopts **ChipAgents** as its first commercial customer to speed up custom processor design and verification. The collaboration highlights Andes’ focus on AI-driven design tools. The partnership aims to streamline development workflows for semiconductor innovation.
ChipAgents expanded its Series A funding to $134 million after closing a $60 million A2 round, amid rising demand for agentic AI in semiconductor design. The company cites 6x ARR growth in the first half of 2026 and deployments at more than 120 semiconductor companies.
