Key Points

  • SiliconMind-V1 introduces a multi-agent framework designed to improve Verilog code generation by integrating reasoning-oriented training data and testbench-driven verification.
  • Unlike previous approaches reliant on commercial models or external tools, SiliconMind-V1 supports locally fine-tuned large language models to iteratively generate, test, and debug RTL designs.
  • The system demonstrates superior functional correctness compared to the state-of-the-art QiMeng-CodeV-R1, while utilizing fewer training resources.
  • Experimental benchmarks including VerilogEval-v2, RTLLM-v2, and CVDP validate the effectiveness of this approach in automating RTL design workflows with improved reliability.
  • This work addresses significant concerns around cost, data privacy, and functional correctness guarantees in Verilog code automation through an integrated and scalable test-time reasoning process.

Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as a promising approach for automating Verilog code generation; however, existing methods primarily emphasize syntactic correctness and often rely on commercial models or external verification tools, which introduces concerns regarding cost, data privacy, and limited guarantees of functional correctness. This work proposes a unified multi-agent framework for reasoning-oriented training data generation with integrated testbench-driven verification, enabling locally fine-tuned LLMs, SiliconMind-V1, to iteratively generate, test, and debug Register-Transfer Level (RTL) designs through test-time scaling. Experimental results on representative benchmarks (VerilogEval-v2, RTLLM-v2, and CVDP) demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art QiMeng-CodeV-R1 in functional correctness while using fewer training resources.
