   Ricursive Intelligence pitches AI-designed chips, aiming for week-long design cycles

   Ricursive Intelligence co-founders Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini took the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt to describe a startup building AI that designs chips, learns from each iteration and improves subsequent designs, with the goal of automating and accelerating chip design. They said Ricursive optimizes entire chips rather than splitting them into dozens of smaller blocks, letting the AI produce intricate patterns such as wave-like layouts, with more details promised later. The founders cited AlphaChip, an AI system they previously developed, which produced a circular "donut-shaped" arrangement of components that initially surprised engineers but ultimately proved successful. Goldie said the industry consensus is that compute demand will grow at least 10,000x in five years, and argued for more efficient chips that use data-center bandwidth, wafers and fabs better rather than building 10,000 times more data centers; if a chip can be designed in about a week, custom chips for space, AR/VR and biological computing become financially viable.
