Photon Pythia is a closed-loop AI engine that takes a circuit spec and returns a verified, fab-ready GDS layout — in hours, not months. Not AI-assisted. Not co-piloted. Autonomously engineered.
Designing a silicon photonic IC takes expert engineers 3–6 months. Every iteration restarts the clock; one failed tape-out can burn $500K and months of runway. The world's photonic-chip ambitions — AI fabric, LiDAR, optical compute, sensing — are bottlenecked by the design loop. We're rebuilding it from scratch around AI.
Pythia's simulation engine is our own. It's cross-validated against state-of-the-art reference solvers and runs on commodity GPUs at a fraction of the cost of legacy EDA tooling. The same engine powers every stage of the loop — from concept to tape-out.
We're talking with photonic IC teams and foundries. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
