SemiKong, a new LLM trained by Aitomatic and its partners in the "AI Alliance", is the world's first large language model specifically crafted to serve the semiconductor industry's needs. SemiKong seeks to become part of the workflows of semiconductor design companies and act as a digital expert in the field, contributing to getting new chips out the door significantly faster.
According to Aitomatic, the company responsible for developing the SemiKong LLM, the semiconductor industry desperately needs to collect expert information. Many aging experts are retiring and taking their knowledge with them, so several companies are suffering from major expertise gaps. A purpose-built LLM trained for the industry's needs seemed like a solid way to give newer engineers the information they need to stay competitive.
