Researchers have developed SLIC, a framework for fine-tuning small language models to optimize analog circuit design. This approach uses reinforcement learning and structured circuit representations to enable local deployment, avoiding the need to send proprietary data to external LLM services. SLIC demonstrates strong performance on in-distribution tasks and shows promising transferability to unseen technology nodes and commercial PDKs, even with limited turns. AI
IMPACT Enables local deployment of specialized LLMs for complex engineering tasks, potentially accelerating design cycles in industries with proprietary data.
