Waveforms so small you can barely see 'em! 🤏
Today we’re making a crazy promise to chip companies: we’ll erase every waveform dump run on your farm, cut your storage 100x, and hand your engineers back days from unnecessary simulation. Might sound impossible, but we’re serious. 🗜️Introducing WaveZip by @hwintelligence!

Officially ready for launch 🚀
We’re proud to launch @hwintelligence (YC S26): AI tools for the chips your AI runs on. Our first product is Wave, a terminal-native waveform debugger with a verification agent built-in. And it’s just the start. If you design or verify chips—ASICs or FPGAs—we’d love to talk!

hardware intelligence retweeted
Super excited to announce that Rishov (@ArkaneMoose) and I are building hardware intelligence (@hwintelligence ) at @ycombinator! 🚀 Leaving Google and a PhD, we wanted to build something big. We found it in something small: chips. Right now, the industry is bolting AI onto extremely incumbent EDA tools — but the focus is fundamentally backwards. AI hardware development can only be as fast as the underlying tools. That's why we're building agent-native workflows for chip design. If you work in hardware, FPGA, or ASIC design, I’d love to chat!
