I'd be shocked if it was anything more than this.

Browsing openai's job postings in the past few months is enough to contirm that it's more than this. They are for sure making serious efforts at building ai for chip design.

Impossible to know. Could be fake/aspirational roles to impress investors with their grand vision.

Jesus. This is tinfoil hat territory now. Why would they fake something like that? ANY company in this field would try to become free from nvda. Goog has done it already, amazon has their own thing, so it can be done. Not saying they'll 0shot this vertical, but ffs, they don't need to fake anything. They are making an effort, and it would be insane to think they aren't. Might work, might not work, but to even think that the effort is fake is going too far.

Asking "why would a company lie?" is probably the funniest thing I've seen all month. Every big company puts out BS nonstop.

They have a history of lying and making grandiose claims. It's unreasonable to extend them the benefit of the doubt again.

It kinda depends on what your prior is. Some companies do a press release and I immediately pay attention or even take action.

Other companies? Fool me once Altman, let's see the thing at scale making money.

Near frontier AI is clearly relevant to some kinds of logic design, I'm learning some Hardcaml at the moment and yeah, AI is super helpful.

Can it leapfrog a company without hardware experience to near the front of the pack of companies with decades of hardware experience? Less obvious.

Unrelatedly, would OpenAI dramatically overstate something to manipulate the press and public and capital markets?

It's arguably their core competency .

AI is going to matter in logic design and synthesis. How much, how soon, and where are open questions.

I'm not saying this isn't a thing. I'm saying oAI doesn't need to fake trying to make a chip or hiring people to make AI better at chip making, or dogfooding or anything like this. It's obvious they're doing it. They'd have 0 reason to fake something like this "for the investors". Come on!

at the hardware company I work at, people are now using claude code and developing skills for it to do basic stuff like triage or do initial debug on failing tests, search for potential causes in RTL, generate skeleton documentation for designs etc

But isn't this rather the ordinary product of an LLM, now?

Is it worth the claim that they are making in a press release?

Definitely, yes, because being vague about it like they have been lets investors fill-in-the-blanks with whatever they want it to mean.

From time to time? Lol you must realize, frontier lab eng are using Codex/Claude-Code 99% in loops, on models the public doesn't have access to. Why? Because it works. Just a matter of time before humans are out of the loop and what comes next is a black hole
