# OpenAI and Synopsys build GPT-Synopsys for autonomous chip design

*2026-10-06 · Source: [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/openai-and-synopsys-partner-to-build-gpt-synopsys-for-autonomous-chip-design-specialized-ai-model-will-operate-eda-tools-allowing-engineers-to-deliver-more-sophisticated-chips-faster)*

OpenAI and Synopsys are developing GPT-Synopsys, a semiconductor-design model. It is meant to directly operate Synopsys's electronic design automation (EDA) tools.

**Why it matters:** Letting a model drive EDA tools itself, rather than suggest changes, moves AI from assistant to operator in chip design. It follows Amazon's billion-dollar Synopsys deal, suggesting Synopsys is becoming the common partner for frontier labs and clouds that want AI-designed silicon, such as OpenAI's own Jalapeño chips.

**Topics:** chips, products
