Can AI Agents Really Complete RTL-to-GDS? Lessons from Benchmarking Tool-Interactive EDA Workflows
Jinyuan Deng, Zhengrui Chen, Xufeng Wei, Tianyu Xing, Chenyi Wen, Qi Sun, et al.
Large language model (LLM) agents are extending electronic design automation (EDA) beyond static RTL generation toward long-horizon, tool-interactive workflows. Yet it remains unclear whether general-purpose coding agents, even with domain-specific EDA skills, can reliably execut…
