Synopsys (SNPS.US) partners with OpenAI to develop chip design AI models; revenue-sharing model drives stock up as much as 7%.

Zhitong Finance APP has learned that chip design software vendor Synopsys (SNPS.US) announced on Wednesday that it has reached a partnership agreement with OpenAI. The two parties will jointly develop AI models for the chip business and share related revenue. The model, named GPT-Synopsys, will be specially trained and tuned to handle chip design tasks. The chip design process usually begins with describing chip circuits in a code-like language, and then extends to how to lay out billions of transistors on a tiny silicon wafer.
