AI-native EDA that designs chips faster than human engineers. Describe your architecture in natural language, and APEX-EDA generates synthesised, placed, and routed GDSII — all in the cloud.
Six AI-native engines replace the entire traditional EDA toolchain.
Describe your chip architecture in plain English. APEX-EDA generates the RTL instantly.
Graph neural networks optimise logic synthesis at the gate level. 15% better PPA.
RL agents learn optimal cell placement and routing. 22% less wirelength.
Graph-based timing prediction: 1000x faster than STA, +/-5% accuracy.
NSGA-III explores the entire power-performance-area Pareto frontier.
Specialist AI agents collaborate under a ManagerAgent for design closure.
Outperforms NVIDIA R100 on every metric. TSMC N2, HBM4, 4500 TFLOPS FP8.

Three steps from architecture spec to tapeout-ready GDSII.
Write architecture in natural language or upload RTL. APEX-EDA converts to a design graph.
GNN synthesis, RL placer-routing, and GraphWISE timing run in parallel.
When converged within PPA constraints, download complete tapeout package.
From academic research to enterprise tapeout. Full APEX-EDA engine suite included.

"APEX-EDA reduced our tapeout timeline from 6 months to 2 weeks."
"We couldn't afford Synopsys. APEX gives enterprise EDA at startup prices."
"12% power reduction our old toolchain missed. Game changer."
