Tattvam AI, a deeptech startup constructing AI methods to automate semiconductor chip design, has raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by Seedcamp, with participation from EWOR, Entropy Industrial Ventures, Idea Ventures, semiconductor angel Stan Boland.

Based by IIT Madras alumnus Bragadeesh Suresh Babu, Tattvam AI goals to convey transformation to the semiconductor world enabling extra chips, designed quicker, customised for the precise utility making the purposes constructed on high of them dramatically quicker. 

The startup is introducing a novel strategy to chip design by constructing an AI system that deeply understands circuit construction and autonomously solves complicated design duties, decreasing chip growth cycles.

“Chip design is basically a reasoning drawback over an infinite search area, not not like the form of reasoning that’s wanted to unravel laborious issues in arithmetic. Present AI instruments, even probably the most superior LLMs, wrestle with the deep structural understanding that chip design calls for. We’re constructing a reasoning mannequin that really understands circuits from first rules – the constraints, the tradeoffs, the interdependencies – the identical approach a world-class engineer would and doing it in a fraction of the time,” stated Bragadeesh Suresh Babu, CEO and Co-founder, Tattvam AI.

By automating key elements of the design course of, Tattvam AI goals to make customized silicon accessible to extra corporations, cut back growth prices, and allow speedy iteration on chip designs – bringing what presently takes 2-3 years right down to weeks.

“Bragadeesh is among the most pushed, energetic and compelling younger founders in at the moment’s chip business.  His conviction that Tattvam AI will dramatically speed-up the complicated and iterative technique of utilizing EDA instruments and fashions to design chips, slicing timelines from years to weeks, is bound to be embraced by the world’s high groups” says Stan Boland, former founder/CEO at Icera (purchased by NVIDIA) and Aspect 14 (purchased by Broadcom).
