ADI distinguishes its ChipAgents platform partnership from internally developed analog optimization

At DAC 2026, ADI's Nimay Shah described a buy-plus-build approach: partner with ChipAgents for the platform while retaining domain intelligence internally. He identified an analog circuit optimizer using reinforcement learning and deep neural networks, and a coverage-closure solution, as ADI-built examples. He also described declining debug quality when moving from IP to subsystem and SoC scale. These statements are documented in the recording's English automatic captions; the cited excerpts do not identify use of ChipAgents' AMS Behavioral Modeling or AMS Layout product lines.
