AGENT INFRASTRUCTURE · L3

The infrastructure layer that keeps
Agents running reliably

Experiments, design observation, model routing, data supply, and tool generation—five infrastructure components give IC design Agents replayable experiments, explainable state, routable models, and evolvable tools.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Five infrastructure components

Core capabilities Agents need—from experiments to tool evolution.

AGENT · D0/DRAFT · Wave 0

Agent Runtime

Experiment engine: transactions, branches, budgets, and decision records. Each Experiment has immutable context; each Candidate has its own branch lineage. Supports multi-dimensional reserve/debit/refund budgets and CAS commit to iDB.

Learn more OBSERVER · D1 · Wave 1

Design Observer

An explainable lens on design state. Summarize, diff, explain, and root-cause analysis. Agents use Observer to understand current design shape and what the last change affected.

Learn more ROUTER · D1 · Wave 1

Model Router

Model registration, calibration, OOD detection, and routing (F0–F4). Manages applicability, calibration curves, and error correlation. Falls back to deterministic engines on OOD.
