Software engineers can use Cursor to 10x their productivity, but hardware engineers can’t do the same. OpenAI and Anthropic want to automate chip design and verification, but they can’t with no data. This is the bottleneck preventing AI from transforming hardware engineering the way it’s already transforming software. Our client, backed by top-tier VCs Google DeepMind's Jeff Dean, are building the simulations (RL environments) for foundation model labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind), so agents can learn to design and verify chip IP. Their data distillation copilot, powered by 20 frontier data generation and curation algorithms, can transform any hardware IP into a full RL environment where LLMs can learn to design and verify chips. This makes them the fastest and most scalable data company in the world for complex, in-demand engineering domains (7× faster than traditional data vendors). About our client Building the hardware infrastructure that powers frontier AI agents—designing end-to-end systems that merge digital logic, verification, and data-driven complexity.
