Cadence Launches New AI Models for Chip Design

Cadence Design Systems has announced the launch of new AI models named 'Cadence Maestro' to assist engineers in chip design. These models are based on NVIDIA's 'Nemotron' and can be run on Cadence's cloud or within clients' own data centers. Through these models, Cadence aims to enhance design efficiency, with preliminary results indicating a 30% improvement in quality and cost efficiency up to five times compared to general-purpose models. This announcement comes as Cadence competes with Synopsys, which recently partnered with OpenAI to develop a similar model.
