OpenTPU is an open-source AI accelerator designed with the involvement of AI agents, exploring the limits of automated hardware design. Running on a Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA platform, it successfully executes modern models like LFM2.5 and Qwen3.5, achieving bit-exact inference results matching its simulator. The project serves as a full-stack learning resource from high-level Python operations to low-level circuitry, demonstrating the feasibility of AI building its own inference chips.

    OpenTPU: AI-Designed Open-Source FPGA Accelerator

    Original: OpenTPU – An open-source AI accelerator, developed by AI

    • AI agents deeply participate in hardware design, exploring the boundaries of 'AI designing chips'.
    • Deployed on real PCIe cards using Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA, supporting inference for ten modern models.
    • Provides a full-stack open-source learning path from SystemVerilog HDL and ISA to compiler and host software.
