No Team to Chip Prototype in 6 Months — How AI Is Rewriting Hardware Development

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]This is actual uh chip that we're going to be building this summer. So, we went from basically no team in January to a to a full prototype in 6 months. And that's because of AI. So, this is what's really cool about not having baggage is you can do things in completely different ways.

[00:00:15]And the way you compute with something like this is the traditional way would be basically loop over some sort of linearized time. This is how we do things in a in a von Neumann machine. We write state out, we retrieve it, we operate on it, we write it back. So, we keep going back and forth. Turns out that's what burns most of the energy in the existing computing system.

[00:00:33]With something with non-linear dynamics, I actually just say, "Here's the initial state, kick it, and let it run."
