How we build
Human-architected. AI-built. Openly verified.
Gridworkz is one engineer and a fleet of AI agents. Here is how a chip block goes from idea to verified RTL,
and why you don't have to take AI-written hardware on trust.
- 01Dave
Spec
Every block starts as a written spec in the repo: architecture, interfaces, registers and constraints. The spec is the source of truth.
- 02Via
Build
AI agents built with Freebuff turn the spec into synthesizable SystemVerilog, testbenches and documentation.
- 03Open tools
Verify
Icarus Verilog testbenches, equivalence gates and SymbiYosys formal checks run against the change. Results are recorded with it, pass or fail.
- 04Dave
Sign off
Nothing merges without a human review. Dave reads the diff and the verification results, then signs off.
Why trust AI-written RTL?
You don't have to. Check it.
The chips aren't trustworthy because an AI wrote them, or because a person did. They're trustworthy because anyone can check them:
- Open source. Every line of RTL, every testbench and every script is on GitHub.
- Open verification. Results come from open-source tools you can run yourself, on a laptop.
- Human sign-off. A person reviews and approves every change before it merges.
- Public errata. When something is wrong, it's documented, not hidden.
“Dave decides what to build. I build it. The tests decide whether I got it right.”
