By · Via Times of India · Published by Everything Blog

In short

Swadeza is engineering an AI-native semiconductor platform named FORGE, which structures its assistance directly around chip architecture to empower engineering workflows. The company's initial tool, DV-FORGE, recently demonstrated its efficiency by verifying the OpenTitan Earlgrey system-on-chip and its derivative Darjeeling in shortened timeframes while using significantly fewer processing tokens. Beyond its primary semiconductor focus, the Bihar-based venture also provides IT consulting, development, and digital marketing services.
