## Summary

Archgen says it is building tools to design chips in three dimensions, as shrinking transistors becomes harder. Stacking transistors shortens connections but makes heat and timing harder to manage. Its AI agent reads each design run, finds failures, fixes them, and reruns the design, from a single chip up to a 3D stack.

## Why it matters

The source explains why chip stacking raises heat and timing problems and says Archgen's AI agent reruns and fixes failing 3D designs.

## Post

Chip design is next for AI.

Transistors are getting harder to shrink, so chips are going vertical. Stacking them shortens connections but makes heat and timing much harder to manage.

Archgen is building the tools to design chips in three dimensions. Their AI agent reads each design run, finds what's failing, fixes it, and reruns, from a single chip up to a 3D stack.
