Cool new paper from NVIDIA. Looks like agentic coding is moving into hardware design. HORIZON treats hardware design as repository-level code evolution. A Markdown harness becomes a project pack with domain knowledge, an executable evaluator, an acceptance predicate, and a git policy. The agent then evolves an isolated worktree. That is a strong pattern because hardware design needs executable checks. The verifier harness becomes the real interface between the agent and the design task. The paper reports 100% benchmark completion across several hardware design suites, which makes this one worth tracking even if you do not work on EDA.
