China unveils world’s first automated AI-based processor chip design system “Qi Meng” (qimeng-ict.github.io)

Qi Meng is an AI system that designs entire processor chips end to end from natural language spec to to physical layout. Their QiMeng-CPU-v1 produced a 32-bit RISC-V CPU, matching Intel 486 performance with over four million logic gates, in just five hours.

QiMeng-CPU-v2, rivals an Arm Cortex A53 from the 2010s, and the whole thing runs on a domain specific model that learns the graph structures of circuits the way GPT learns text.

The appeal of Qi Meng is that this open-source effort has three key interconnected layers melding LLM chip design smarts, a hardware and software design agent, and various chip design apps. The paper shows that the system can do in days what takes human teams weeks to achieve.

This is actually cool use of AI, problems with reducing labor aside

ai could technically be doing this for almost every profession it already automates.

I guess, it's not producing anything particularly remarkable in normal professions though. Its use in material science is a lot more interesting since it is looking at wayyyyyyyyyy more data than any person could at once and if it can produce an outcome with that information that is materially useful it past what a highly trained and skilled human could do in that time frame it becomes interesting

This versus AI creating corporate art slop and emails. I need it to be doing somethjng that's not subjective for me to give a shit and this is a material advance, thus actually interesting

i hear about some interesting stuff in the field of medicine, for much of the same reasons.

If you can give it a massive, real, good data set and it can that quickly come to material conclusions then it is scary powerful

I believe the west will be too preoccupied with the immediate profit of the parlor trick part of its capabilities to keep up with its real value
