Home/Why us

Why us. Months back on every release.

The established modeling tools are excellent instruments — and each one owns a single step, with an expert at the keyboard and a hand-off at either end. We automate the steps and remove the hand-offs, so modeling and PDK release run in weeks, not months.

Product by product

What changes, and the time it gives back.

Mature-node PDK release, compared with typical expert-driven flows. The modeling numbers come from hands-on work.

Separate toolsets and hand-offs, or one data chain.

Modeling has strong incumbents, and each owns one silo. Here is what the same work looks like when one AI layer runs the whole release.
