Synopsys and OpenAI announced a multi-year partnership to jointly develop GPT-Synopsys, a specialized model for chip design. The model aims to operate Synopsys’ electronic design automation (EDA) tools, interpret results and iterate on designs for engineer review.
- OpenAI will license Synopsys’ EDA tools for development.
- Both will collaborate on R&D and joint go-to-market efforts, with revenue sharing, for worldwide availability.
- It will run on OpenAI-hosted infrastructure, integrate with Synopsys.ai and Synopsys Autopilot, and is designed to interoperate with customer agent harness systems.
- The offering bundles compute, model and licenses, with enterprise-grade security and governance.
- Customer data is not used for training, is encrypted at rest and in transit, and has configurable retention, audit and permission controls.
With early engagements underway, the partnership aims to help engineers explore design options.
