Aitomatic’s SemiKong: Revolutionizing Chipmaking with AI

The semiconductor industry is on the cusp of a revolution, thanks to Aitomatic’s SemiKong, the world’s first open-source AI Large Language Model (LLM) designed specifically for the industry. Unveiled at Semicon West 2024, SemiKong aims to reshape semiconductor processes and fabrication technology, potentially transforming the $500 billion industry in the next five years.

The future of chipmaking

Developed in collaboration with FPT Software and industry experts from the AI Alliance, SemiKong outperforms generic LLMs like GPT and Llama3 on industry-specific tasks. Its marked improvements in accuracy, relevance, and understanding of semiconductor processes make it an attractive solution for companies looking to accelerate innovation and reduce costs across the value chain.

“SemiKong is set to redefine semiconductor manufacturing. This open innovation model, enabled by the AI Alliance, harnesses collective expertise for industry-specific challenges.” - Christopher Nguyen, CEO of Aitomatic

The potential impact of SemiKong is significant. As the model drives down semiconductor production costs, consumers could see more powerful smartphones, laptops, and smart home devices at lower prices within the next few years.

The semiconductor industry is poised for a revolution

SemiKong will be available for download on HuggingFace and GitHub starting July 9th, 2024. The next, more powerful version of SemiKong is planned for December 2024, with the first process-specific models expected by September 2024.

The collaborators are committed to ongoing R&D, aiming to build an ecosystem of AI tools that will propel the semiconductor industry into a new era of innovation and efficiency.
