Verkor's autonomous agentic system, Design Conductor ("Conductor" for short), applies the capabilities of frontier models to build semiconductors end-to-end -- from concept to verified, tape-out ready GDSII (layout CAD).
We see a future in which humans spend their time providing expert architectural and design input to Conductor, enabling very fast design iteration and time to tape-out.
Design Conductor has autonomously built several designs, including VerTQ, an LLM attention accelerator which hard-wires Google's TurboQuant KV compression algorithm. This design, containing 5129 custom floating-point units, was built and mapped to an FPGA by Design Conductor over ~80 hours. Design Conductor also build VerCore, a 1.5 GHz Linux-capable RISC-V CPU, with its only human input being a 219-word requirements document. VerCore achieved a CoreMark score roughly equivalent to that of an Intel Celeron SU2300 from mid-2011.

Verkor is working with multiple of the top 10 fabless companies to deploy Conductor to accelerate their time to market.
