I've been toying around with some prototypes to use AI and LLMs for hardware / chip design but at the HLS level using C++ rather than the HDL level using Verilog. This domain is just over the edge of what LLMs know about to spit out working, reasonable, and expert source code. This is the first public LLM/AI tool that has actually provided HLS code without needing extensive hand-holding.
Even more so, it is the best example I've seen that links high-level algorithms (from papers) or design concepts (from textbooks or online sources) to actual implementation (from documentation) without any concept based on the web access feature. In my own experiment with prompt engineering for hardware designs, I've always had to provide LLMs with a lot of context and they still often fail in this domain.
I will be toying around with this and I hope to see more in the future!
Edit: I just noticed the founders are in here. I am a PhD student and I would love to give detailed beta feedback in exchange for free credits to use this tool in my day-to-day research!
