A comparative analysis is conducted to evaluate the total cost of ownership (TCO) and performance of large language models (LLMs) in the context of chip design. Specifically, a domain-adapted LLM called ChipNeMo is compared to two leading general-purpose LLMs, Claude 3 Opus and ChatGPT-4 Turbo. The study examines the accuracy, training methodologies, and operational expenditures of these models to determine their efficacy in generating coding assistance for chip design. The results show that domain-adapted LLMs like ChipNeMo demonstrate improved performance at significantly reduced costs compared to general-purpose LLMs. This study aims to provide stakeholders with critical information to select the most economically viable and performance-efficient solutions for their specific needs.

Large language models are computer programs designed to understand human language. In this paper, researchers compare different types of these models to see which one is best for helping designers create chip designs. They look at three types of models: a special “domain-adapted” model called ChipNeMo and two popular general-purpose models. The study finds that the domain-adapted model is better than the general-purpose models because it can do tasks more accurately while using fewer resources.
