openTPU: open-source AI accelerator designed by AI agents runs on real FPGA hardware
A project called openTPU has released an open-source AI inference accelerator whose hardware design, instruction set, compiler and simulator were developed by AI agents rather than human engineers. The design was tested on an Inspur YPCB-00338 FPGA card, successfully running ten language models including LFM2.5, Qwen3, Gemma 4 and SmolLM3, with output matching the simulator bit-for-bit.
