Ricursive is developing an AI system that designs chips—placing microcomponents on the chip to ensure performance, good power consumption, and any other design requirements. Their AI model is based on a self-improving "reward signal" that evaluates the design's quality and improves the agent after each subsequent chip is developed. Ricursive's platform also uses LLM for design validation. Nvidia is the startup's main investor and primary target customer, along with AMD and Intel.
