Synopsys Automates Microchip Verification with Autonomous NVIDIA-Powered AI Agents

On July 26, 2026, Synopsys, the electronic design automation (EDA) company, announced new agentic AI capabilities for chip and electronics system design at the 2026 DAC Chips to Systems Conference. The company said the advancements were developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and are enabled by NVIDIA Nemotron, running on the company’s accelerated computing platform and secured by the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime.

"AI is fundamentally reshaping engineering, and Synopsys is at the forefront of this transformation, enabling fully autonomous agents across every stage of silicon and systems development," said Ravi Subramanian, Chief Product Management Officer at Synopsys.

According to the company, the centrepiece of the announcement is a fully autonomous, long-running design verification (DV) agent that orchestrates the entire chip verification cycle. The company said the workflow shifts verification from a tool-assisted process to a goal-driven one, with an orchestrator agent deconstructing verification goals from specification, design, test repository, and user inputs

The orchestrator then coordinates specialized agents across test plan generation, coverage closure, and debug, the company said.
