“Advanced-node SoC design increasingly requires AI agents that can orchestrate complex workflows across the design lifecycle, not just optimize individual tasks. By combining Cadence’s InnoStack AI Super Agent with Rapidus’ Raads platform, we are extending agentic AI into a leading-edge semiconductor ecosystem, enabling customers to improve productivity, accelerate design closure and bring more advanced silicon to market faster.” ~Anirudh Devgan, president and CEO, Cadence
Collaboration combines Rapidus’ AI-Agentic Design Solution with Cadence InnoStack AI Super Agent to target up to a 2X acceleration of design turnaround times
Today, Rapidus Corporation and Cadence (Nasdaq: CDNS) announced a collaboration to advance agentic AI for advanced-node system-on-chip (SoC) design by integrating the Cadence® InnoStackTM AI Super Agent into the Rapidus AI-Agentic Design Solution (Raads). By integrating Cadence's agentic AI design orchestration technology with Rapidus' AI-native design and manufacturing ecosystem for advanced-node semiconductors, the joint effort helps design teams boost productivity, reduce time to market, and improve design quality throughout the SoC design lifecycle. As part of this collaboration, Rapidus aims to reduce design turnaround time (TAT) by two times compared to traditional flows.
The development of AI infrastructure and the next generation of physical AI-powered systems require close, system-level co-optimization across semiconductor design, manufacturing, packaging, and systems. Agentic AI is essential for the next generation of advanced SoCs. As part of today's announcement, Rapidus is extending its Raads lineup with the introduction of Raads Navigator and Raads Indicator to enhance quality assurance and help designers overcome design issues and challenges. Crucially, the new tools' integration with the Cadence InnoStack AI Super Agent, which automates and coordinates tasks from early architectural exploration through implementation and signoff, enables agentic design orchestration across crucial SoC workflows. By applying data-driven optimization throughout the design lifecycle, the integration is intended to help teams manage advanced-node complexity, improve design predictability, and scale engineering productivity while advancing Rapidus' design TAT reduction objectives.
Rapidus and Cadence will discuss the collaboration at CadenceLIVE Japan 2026, where Dr. Atsuyoshi Koike, Representative Director and CEO of Rapidus will deliver a keynote on how Rapidus is evolving Raads with Cadence Agentic AI and EDA to improve efficiency and quality in advanced-node SoC development.
“At its completion, our Innovative Integration for Manufacturing facility will be the most advanced, AI-native foundry where AI is incorporated at almost every stage of semiconductor manufacturing. By evolving Raads and integrating it with Cadence’s InnoStack AI Super Agent, we are strengthening our AI-agentic design environment to help customers manage increasing SoC complexity, improve engineering productivity and realize the full value of Rapidus’ advanced process technologies. In working closely with Cadence on InnoStack and additional Cadence AI Super Agent solutions, we see a clear path to significantly reducing design turnaround time and enabling faster innovation on Rapidus’ advanced nodes.” ~Dr. Atsuyoshi Koike, Representative Director and CEO of Rapidus
