> To address this challenge, Garg and colleagues scoured Verilog code on GitHub and excerpted content from 70 Verilog textbooks to amass the largest AI training dataset of Verilog ever assembled. The team then created VeriGen, the first specialized AI model trained solely to generate Verilog code.

I expect this will become the norm in a number of fields. Perhaps COBOL is next?

Perhaps it's the first open one. I was an eng manager at a hyperscaler helping one of our clients, a large semiconductor design company, build models to use internally. It was trained on their extensive Verilog repos, tooling, and strict style guides. I see this being repeated across industries, at least since 2023 there are quite a few deep-pocketed S&P 500 orgs creating models from scratch or extensively finetuning to give unique advantages they require. They're rarely announced specifically, but you can often infer from the initial investment or partnership announcements that they're working on it.
