The semiconductor industry has a dirty secret: the software that designs chips is often older than the engineers using it. While AI models train on GPUs that push the limits of physics, the tools used to verify those chips still feel like relics from the 1990s. hardware intelligence, a Y Combinator backed startup, is trying to change that with a bold thesis: bring the $20B chip tooling industry into this decade by making it agent native.
