The QTCore-C1 chip, developed by Dr. Hammond Pearce at NYU Tandon using ChatGPT, has achieved a significant milestone by being successfully fabricated and demonstrated in action, powering a Christmas light show. The project won the Efabless Corporation AI-generated open-source silicon design contest and was entirely created through conversations with OpenAI’s GPT-4, which also helped patch bugs found in testing and provided insights into the instruction set architecture design.
The AI-powered chip design has the potential to revolutionize the market and democratize custom silicon manufacturing, as demonstrated by Efabless’s interest in leveraging AI for chip design and manufacturing. The QTCore-C1 chip, while described as a co-processor with limits, represents a major leap in AI-assisted chip design and opens doors for custom silicon development.
