Recent breakthroughs in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Circuit Models (LCMs) have sparked excitement across the electronic design automation (EDA) community, promising significant advances in circuit design and optimization. Yet, skepticism persists: Are these large AI models truly transformative, or are we experiencing a temporary wave of inflated expectations? This panel brings together leading experts from academia and industry to critically examine the practical capabilities, limitations, and future prospects of large AI models in hardware design. Panelists will debate their reliability, scalability, interpretability, and whether these models meaningfully outperform and/or complement traditional EDA methods—offering attendees fresh insights into one of today's most contentious and impactful technology trends.
