SAN JOSE & SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct 23 — Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), a provider of industry-leading chips and silicon IP making data faster and safer, and ChipAgents, a leader in agentic AI platforms for chip design, today announced a multi-faceted strategic agreement to accelerate chip design with agentic AI. As part of the agreement, Rambus is adopting the ChipAgents platform companywide, including deployment across its chip and silicon IP design and verification workflows to accelerate the pace of development. The companies will also collaborate to leverage Rambus’ deep semiconductor expertise and ChipAgents’ agentic AI platform and agentic workflows to enable greater speed and Quality of Results (QoR) in our customers’ chip design process across their preferred design environments. In addition, Rambus has become a strategic investor in ChipAgents, reflecting its confidence in the growing role of AI-native engineering in the future of chip design.
“AI is creating a virtuous cycle of innovation, driving demand for more advanced chips and increasingly complex systems while transforming the way those chips are designed,” said Luc Seraphin, president and chief executive officer of Rambus. “ChipAgents is a fellow industry pioneer and a leader in agentic AI for chip design, making the company a strong strategic investment for Rambus. By adopting the ChipAgents platform, we see opportunities to accelerate the pace of chip and IP development, enhance engineering productivity, and strengthen our long-term position in AI and data-center infrastructure.”
“Rambus has decades of semiconductor chip expertise and a broad portfolio of mission-critical silicon IP for state-of-the-art SoC designs,” said William Wang, founder and chief executive officer of ChipAgents. “Together, we see an opportunity to move beyond automating individual tasks to a more holistic, AI-native approach to chip design. By combining Rambus’ design and IP expertise with our agentic AI platform, we aim to help engineering teams move more efficiently from design intent through silicon implementation while preserving their choice of tools and technologies.”
“Agentic AI can revolutionize complex chip and IP design delivering dramatic benefits in engineering productivity and reduced time to market,” said Simon Blake-Wilson, senior vice president and general manager of Silicon IP at Rambus. “We are excited to adopt the ChipAgents platform across Rambus and apply agentic AI to our chip and silicon IP development workflows. We look forward to working together to drive greater value for our mutual customers by advancing the chip design and IP integration process.”
