QiMeng-ChipV-RTL is a multi‑agent framework that tackles the challenges of generating Register‑Transfer Level (RTL) code for industrial IP‑level hardware design. By partitioning long design documents into short, localized tasks and using hierarchical planning, localized code generation, interface‑consistent merging, and AST‑guided debugging, it scales to complex specifications. Experiments on the RealBench benchmark show ChipV-RTL achieves a 45.0% pass rate, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art LLMs and agents which reach only 21.6%.

arXiv:2608. 02712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel generation for hardware accelerators such as GPUs and NPUs has become a proving ground for large language models (LLMs), and state-of-the-art systems raise correctness through pipelines that couple LLMs with agentic reinforcement learning and evolutionary search.
