ChainThink report: Since Samsung Electronics' System LSI division opened access to Anthropic's AI coding tool, Claude Code, for software developers in May this year, it has been applied to customer-specific SoC feature verification and early-stage development of semiconductor design software.

In a recent customer-specific SoC project, Samsung reduced the originally estimated verification environment setup and validation work—previously expected to take over a month—to just two days, achieving an internal evaluation efficiency improvement of approximately 15 times.

The project involved 64 data paths, with certain standardized design documentation and DRAM controller RTL still pending timely delivery.

Samsung also reported that an engineer with only two years of experience successfully completed, within a single day, the development and runtime validation of a USB keyboard and mouse model typically requiring about a month—along with further advancement into Android USB device driver development—despite lacking prior experience with the tool.

The company stated its intent to leverage AI to enhance productivity among existing design teams; however, internal assessments have revealed that generative AI still requires strictly defined operational boundaries and rigorous manual review of outputs.
