You cannot trust third-party models with sensitive IP. SiliconMind builds your chip design AI that evolves on-premise with your data.
SiliconMind is a Taiwan-based Chip AI Foundry, spun off from National Taiwan University and Academia Sinica. Custom ASIC demand is outpacing the industry's ability to hire RTL design & verification talent, and turnkey services still run on human labor. We build private AI for IC design companies and IP providers — small, efficient models served on-premise, continuously improving on the customer's own design data and workflows. The AI belongs to the customer, and their design knowledge never leaves their environment. Like a semiconductor foundry, we provide the infrastructure to scale without competing with our customers. Current scope: spec to verified RTL, on a roadmap to spec to GDSII.
Ingest approved engineering sources (text, data, visual artifacts) using our secure local collecting tool into a traceable knowledge substrate.
Normalize, filter, and segment domain context so retrieval (RAG) and evaluation stay reliable.
Continuous local model training service (LLM and Multi-modal) based on captured context and human feedback.
Measure outputs against engineering expectations before they influence critical decisions.
Leverage test-time scaling and search-based reasoning to autonomously optimize design candidates for peak evaluation.
Connect the artifacts and repositories that actually drive design decisions, fully on-prem.
Continuous local learning service routes prompts and tools through IC-aware patterns.
Support analysis, synthesis, and inspection steps that sit close to engineering delivery.
