Introduction
Viv is an AI agent for design verification. It debugs failing test cases around the clock using log files, code, waveform files and other test output, plus a continuously updated knowledge base, and the company says it can cut test debug times by upwards of 90%.
Viv runs entirely on your servers, so data never leaves your machines, with LLM access on a bring-your-own-key basis. It is invoked through a command-line tool on a particular test run or slotted into CI/CD, and interoperates with most industry-standard tools. Like any verification engineer it may not always be right, but it cites code and waveforms directly in its suggestions.
Launch and background: Y Combinator’s company directory lists Silogy in its Winter 2024 batch, with the one-liner “An AI-powered test and debug platform for chip developers”.
Features
- Autonomous debug: Root-causes failing tests.
- Waveform analysis: Reads waveform files.
- On-premise: Data stays local.
- Bring your own key: Choose your LLM.
- CLI and CI: Fits existing flows.
Pros
- Security for IP: Fully on-premise.
Cons
- Niche: For chip design verification teams.
- Pricing not public: Contact the company.
Usage and Links (Example)
- Install Viv on-premise.
- Configure your LLM key.
