LLMs in Digital EDA: A perspective on shifting roles from Generation to Orchestration
The framing of Generator, Agent, and Orchestrator is a useful taxonomy for anyone evaluating LLM tooling in chip design, and the identified 'syntax trap' where models produce plausible but physically incorrect hardware is a real and underdiscussed failure mode. Chip design teams experimenting with LLM-assisted EDA should read this before betting on generation-only tools.
