    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    GPT-Synopsys is an OpenAI frontier mode=
    l trained and tuned to operate Synopsys' EDA tools directly, covering PPA o= ptimization, timing closure, and verification. Engineers hand it an objecti= ve, and agents run the tools, interpret the results, make changes, and loop=
    until there's a verified outcome to review. It runs on OpenAI-hosted infra= structure and plugs into Synopsys.ai and the Autopilot agentic platform. Op= enAI licenses Synopsys' tools to train the model, paying a training subscri= ption fee, and the two companies then share revenue based on how well the m= odel improves chip designs, an unusual structure that ties both to the resu= lts. Synopsys says customer design data stays protected and won't be used t=
    o train the frontier model, and the bundled service covers compute, the mod= el, and EDA licenses.

    ScaRF-SLAM is a dense visual mapping sy= stem that pairs the reliability of classical visual SLAM with modern feed-f= orward geometric foundation models for 3D scene reconstruction. By decoupli=
