NVIDIA HORIZON agent evolves hardware design using Git worktrees

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

NVIDIA Research has introduced HORIZON, a novel agent framework designed for hardware design that treats the process as a form of repository-level code evolution. This system utilizes a structured Markdown harness to define goals, domain knowledge, and evaluation criteria, which a bootstrap agent then uses to manage an isolated git worktree. The agent iteratively refines the design, committing changes only when an executable acceptance gate passes, and has demonstrated 100% completion across various RTL benchmark suites. AI

IMPACT This framework could accelerate hardware design cycles by automating iterative refinement and validation processes.
