At this year’s Verification Futures Summit in Austin, the signal was loud and clear: verification leaders are ready to move beyond patchwork solutions.

Across keynotes, the conversations were refreshingly grounded about what’s breaking builds and burning cycles today. Teams are grappling with growing test complexity, tighter silicon schedules, and the pressure to deliver clean tapeouts faster. What they want isn’t magic. It’s clarity, trust, and more time to engineer.

From our engineering team’s perspective, it was clear that verification teams are hungry for practical ways to reduce debug time, cut re-runs, and free up cycles for higher-value engineering work. The enthusiasm wasn’t just about what AI can do in theory—it was about what’s working right now, in real verification flows.

That’s why being at Verification Futures mattered to us.

We were there to listen to the patterns behind the problems, to what teams are trying, to what’s working and what isn’t. And what we heard matches what we’ve built our roadmap around: agentic systems that integrate cleanly, accelerate time-to-confidence, and make verification feel less like firefighting and more like forward motion.

The ecosystem around IP and SoC verification has never felt more active or more collaborative. That matters, because solving verification at scale doesn’t just take new tools. It takes shared urgency and shared wins.
