Automated debugging, particularly for software components in chip design, is a significant challenge for agentic systems due to the lack of detailed state history in traditional software debuggers. Undo, a debugger company, offers a solution that traces back through runtime recordings, proving useful in networking software and EDA. A joint debug exercise between Undo and Anthropic demonstrated this capability, tracing a Python interpreter crash.
Agentic systems face a fundamental hurdle in chip design verification, requiring specialized debugging tools like Undo to localize root causes across diverse hardware/software domains.
