Overview

SigmanticAI is building an AI-native hardware development assistant that automates the entire RTL design flow, from natural language to synthesizable HDL and testbenches, inside a seamless VSCode fork. Powered by fine-tuned Verilog LLMs, reinforcement learning, and real compiler feedback, SigmanticAI iteratively refines code until it compiles and passes synthesis, no matter how complex the design. It’s like the Cursor for HDL design.

In addition to code generation, SigmanticAI can generate token-level annotations and onboarding documents to accelerate ramp-up for new engineers. With support for both cloud and on-prem deployment, it integrates with existing EDA tools to dramatically reduce debug time, improve collaboration, and accelerate hardware design across teams

Rohil Khare

Founder

I’m Rohil Khare, Co-Founder of SigmanticAI. I studied EECS at UC Berkeley and previously worked at Amazon. In high school, I filed provisional patents in IoT as an early innovator, and since then I’ve worked at multiple startups at the intersection of hardware and machine learning. At Berkeley, I conducted research at BAIR and the Architecture Group, and published at ICRA. Now, at SigmanticAI, I’m building AI-native tooling that accelerates the creation of custom chip designs and silicon.
