After Amazon and OpenAI, Synopsys (SNPS.US) also "looks to the East": plans to explore cooperation with Chinese AI laboratories on chip design technology

According to Zhihu Finance APP, Synopsys (SNPS.US), the global leader in chip design software development, plans to explore cooperation with Chinese AI labs to improve chip design processes. This move comes shortly after Synopsys signed multi-year agreements involving chip design technology with Amazon (AMZN.US) and OpenAI.

It is reported that Ravi Subramanian, Chief Product Officer of Synopsys, said the company is exploring partnerships with Chinese AI labs to develop similar tools for the Chinese market. As the demand for model training and deployment continues to grow, new AI-driven chip design tools are essential to keep up with this trend.

"We have a set of U.S. government regulations that we must comply with, and we will adhere to these regulations in any business expansion," Subramanian said. "We believe that China has its own growth momentum."

The agreement between Synopsys and OpenAI involves the development of GPT-Synopsys, an optimized dedicated model that utilizes Synopsys EDA tools to execute semiconductor design workflows.
