Nvidia Trains LLM on Chip Design
Daily Feed: Fingers crossed - the investment on human workforce for chip design is immense now and if language models can do it better or even optimize engineers by say 40%, it is going to be a breakaway event.
India alone accounts for ~20% of chip designers for top semicon companies.

How Will AI Affect the Semiconductor Industry?
Daily Feed: "Given high level specifications, AI tools can potentially assist in all parts of chip design cycle starting from making cell libraries to validation"

Proof of Concept (PoC) is a very misleading approach.
Proof of Concept (PoC) is a very misleading approach, and I strongly recommend avoiding it. Let me explain.
PoC makes the project team focus on the technology and verification of the technical feasibility of some solution. That mindset is one of the main reasons for failure in the IoT domain because:
- We lose the objective (technology is not the end goal of any IoT deployment)....
Can Silicon Supply Enough Power for the Future of AI Silicon? (https://www.electronicdesign.com/)
This topic is something we discussed here from an EV and datacenter viewpoint but the stats shown here are just boom!
Either we power devices from thin air(likely?) or build ultra-efficient power conversion systems(unlikely?). Wide-bandgap devices have been around for a while now but makes big bet for the future!

Which Microcontroller do you use or plan to use in your project?
I did a small Poll on Twitter two days back, ESP32 seems to be the winner, no doubt a very popular platform these days. here is the direct link: https://x.com/aggarwal_pallav/status/1731178832260907281?s=20, good to see 1868 votes, so we have some validation
Using Battery Digital Twins to Elevate EV Performance and Life
Daily Feed: We've talked about digital twins in the last office-hours. Simply said, these are a close enough replica of the actual system put together by studying them and tend to behave with the same input/output characteristics (like a photocopy of yours's looks just like you!)
Some impactful use cases are in automotive, energy domain where the amount of parameters involved are hefty and not easy to analyze them. This articles shows one interesting use-case for batteries https://eepower.com/industry-articles/using-battery-digital-twins-to-elevate-ev-performance-and-life/#
There are some interesting startups in this domain as well like https://www.twaice.com/ and one project by Bosch https://www.bosch-mobility.com/en/solutions/software-and-services/battery-in-the-cloud/battery-in-the-cloud/...
The Tesla activities in the OpenSource field
Have you noticed the Tesla activities in the OpenSource field? https://service.tesla.com/roadster three PCBs are all ready to be downloaded, including gerbers and schematics. I am excited and eager to study them. I went through the Batter Monitoring thing and that thing is cool. They used the same components as we normally use. It made my day!
