A public benchmark for AI agents that carry chip designs from RTL through physical implementation and verified silicon outcomes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

FluxBench scores an agent across a sequential implementation pipeline: RTL and SDC input, synthesis, place-and-route, timing and ECO work, then signoff evidence. Its formula gives 20% weight to completing the stages and 80% to final implementation quality across area, setup and hold timing, and power. Reference targets are provided for 350 MHz and 700 MHz, while the PicoRV32 leaderboard is available and an NVDLA entry is marked as coming soon.
