Claude-powered automation helps Samsung's System LSI speed chip verification and cut training time despite control challenges
By Jeong Du-yong, chosun.com
Samsung Electronics adopted Anthropic's large language model (LLM) "Claude" and has significantly shortened some semiconductor design and verification timelines. About three months after first opening Claude's AI coding tool "Claude Code" to software developers, concrete efficiency gains have appeared on the ground. In customized system-on-chip (SoC—semiconductors that integrate multiple functions such as a processor and memory controller onto a single chip) verification, a task expected to take more than a month was finished in two days, and there was also a case in which a second-year engineer completed development work that could have taken more than a month in one day.
The semiconductor industry says this shift could help offset a shortage of design talent. For example, Qualcomm competes with Samsung Electronics' System LSI division in the mobile application processor (AP) and SoC markets. The System LSI division's headcount is estimated at around 6,000 in the industry. Qualcomm, by contrast, had about 52,000 employees as of September last year, making its overall organization nearly nine times larger.
