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. Teams of 100 or more that today can only handle a single design in 18-36 months will be able to explore many product and architecture ideas all the way to GDSII, requiring only 3-6 months overall to tape-out.
Design Conductor has already autonomously built a 1.5 GHz Linux-capable RISC-V CPU (the "VerCore"), 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.
