Rapidus and Cadence are collaborating to advance agentic AI for advanced SoC design and accelerate design turnaround time. The effort integrates the Cadence InnoStack AI Super Agent with the Rapidus AI-Agentic Design Solution (Raads), combining Cadence’s agentic AI orchestration technology with Rapidus’ AI-native design and manufacturing ecosystem for advanced-node semiconductors. According to Rapidus, the approach targets up to a 2× reduction in design turnaround time over conventional design flows.

Rapidus is extending its Raads AI-agentic design environment with the introduction of Raads Navigator and Raads Indicator to enhance quality assurance and help designers resolve design issues. Integrated with the InnoStack AI Super Agent, the new capabilities enable agentic design orchestration across key SoC workflows, automating and coordinating tasks from early architectural exploration through implementation and signoff. The integration allows teams to better manage advanced-node complexity and improve design predictability.
The InnoStack AI Super Agent is available from Cadence. Raads is part of Rapidus’ AI-native foundry ecosystem for customers developing advanced-node semiconductor designs.
