Rapidus and Cadence integrate agentic AI for SoC design

Raads Navigator and Raads Indicator support quality assurance and issue resolution across advanced-node workflows.

The joint effort combines Rapidus’ AI-native design and manufacturing ecosystem for advanced-node semiconductors with Cadence’s agentic AI design orchestration technology to help design teams improve productivity, accelerate time to market and enhance design quality across the SoC design lifecycle.

Rapidus Corporation and Cadence announced a collaboration to integrate the Cadence InnoStack AI Super Agent into the Rapidus AI-Agentic Design Solution (Raads) for advanced-node system-on-chip (SoC) design.

The effort combines Rapidus’ AI-native design and manufacturing ecosystem with Cadence’s agentic AI design orchestration technology to support SoC design workflows. Rapidus is targeting up to a 2X improvement in design turnaround time compared with traditional flows.

Rapidus is expanding its Raads lineup with Raads Navigator and Raads Indicator, tools intended to support quality assurance and help designers address design issues. The tools have been integrated with the Cadence InnoStack AI Super Agent to coordinate tasks across SoC workflows, from early architectural exploration through implementation and signoff.

The integration is intended to help teams manage advanced-node design complexity, improve design predictability and scale engineering productivity.
