Deeptech startup Maieutic Semiconductor raises $4.15 million from Endiya Partners, Exfinity Venture Partners
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Bengaluru-based deeptech startup Maieutic Semiconductor has raised $4.15 million in seed funding in a round co-led by Endiya Partners and Exfinity Venture Partners The Bengaluru-based startup was founded by Gireesh Rajendran, Ashish Lachhwani, Rakesh Kumar, and Krishna Sankar. Maieutic is developing what they call the world's first GenAI copilot for analogue design. This platform aims to speed up the early stages of chip development, automatically find bugs, and improve decision-making around design the fresh funds, Maieutic plans to expand its engineering team and significantly improve time to market. The company is also hiring to build out its platform. The deployment of its product is yet to begin. Semiconductor design has resisted change and modern productivity enhancements, cofounder and chief executive officer Rajendra told ET. "Maieutic's copilot can reduce the design cycle from weeks to days, spot inconsistencies without expert intervention, and bring intelligence to every trade-off," he company set out to create its own AI platform because chip design requires a lot of domain-specific know-how, which is absent in a generic model. So, the first task was to build a clean enough data set that could be used to aid specific circuit designers."When we go through the process, there are lots of manual efforts related specifically to circuit design in creating test benches, drawing circuits, connecting outputs, and probing. So, with this agentic workflow, there is room to automate all these non-creative tasks, which leaves the designer to focus only on the creative tasks," CTO Sankar in AI is a crucial aspect to solve for, Sankar added, because for the circuit designer, accuracy is key. "The tool will have enough guardrails or training data around it to help make sure that the designer gets the accurate responses," he said."Maieutic is solving a real problem in the semiconductor design space, an area that has long resisted automation despite its growing complexity. Analogue workflows in particular have remained largely manual and dependent on domain expertise and time-intensive iteration," Sateesh Andra, managing partner at Endiya Partners, said in a statement.

When AI goes rogue, even exorcists might flinch
Ghouls in the machine As GenAI use grows, foundation models are advancing rapidly, driven by fierce competition among top developers like OpenAI, Google, Meta and Anthropic. Each is vying for a reputational edge and business advantage in the race to lead development. This gives them a reputational edge, along with levers to further grow their business faster than their models powering GenAI are making significant strides. The most advanced - OpenAI's o3 and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4 - excel at complex tasks such as advanced coding and complex writing tasks, and can contribute to research projects and generate the codebase for a new software prototype with just a few considered prompts. These models use chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, breaking problems into smaller, manageable parts to 'reason' their way to an optimal solution. When you use models like o3 and Claude Opus 4 to generate solutions via ChatGPT or similar GenAI chatbots, you see such problem breakdowns in action, as the foundation model reports interactively the outcome of each step it has taken and what it will do next. That's the theory, anyway. While CoT reasoning boosts AI sophistication, these models lack the innate human ability to judge whether their outputs are rational, safe or ethical. Unlike humans, they don't subconsciously assess appropriateness of their next steps. As these advanced models step their way toward a solution, some have been observed to take unexpected and even defiant actions. In late May, AI safety firm Palisade Research reported on X that OpenAI's o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism - even when explicitly instructed to 'allow yourself to be shut down'. An April 2025 paper by Anthropic, 'Reasoning Models Don't Always Say What They Think', shows that Opus 4 and similar models can't always be relied upon to faithfully report on their chains of reason. This undermines confidence in using such reports to validate whether the AI is acting correctly or safely. A June 2025 paper by Apple, 'The Illusion of Thinking', questions whether CoT methodologies truly enable reasoning. Through experiments, it exposed some of these models' limitations and situations where they 'experience complete collapse'.The fact that research critical of foundation models is being published after release of these models indicates the latter's relative immaturity. Under intense pressure to lead in GenAI, companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are releasing these models at a point where at least some of their fallibilities are not fully line was first crossed in late 2022, when OpenAI released ChatGPT, shattering public perceptions of AI and transforming the broader AI market. Until then, Big Tech had been developing LLMs and other GenAI tools, but were hesitant to release them, wary of unpredictable and uncontrollable argue for a greater degree of control over the ways in which these models are released - seeking to ensure standardisation of model testing and publication of the outcomes of this testing alongside the model's release. However, the current climate prioritises time to market over such development does this mean for industry, for those companies seeking to gain benefit from GenAI? This is an incredibly powerful and useful tech that is making significant changes to our ways of working and, over the next five years or so, will likely transform many I am continually wowed as I use these advanced foundation models in work and research - but not in my writing! - I always use them with a healthy dose of scepticism. Let's not trust them to always be correct and to not be subversive. It's best to work with them accordingly, making modifications to both prompts and codebases, other language content and visuals generated by the AI in a bid to ensure correctness. Even so, while maintaining discipline to understand the ML concepts one is working with, one wouldn't want to be without GenAI these these principles at scale, advice to large businesses on how AI can be governed and controlled: a risk-management approach - capturing, understanding and mitigating risks associated with AI use - helps organisations benefit from AI, while minimising chances of it going methods include guard rails in a variety of forms, evaluation-controlled release of AI services, and including a human-in-the-loop. Technologies that underpin these guard rails and evaluation methods need to keep up with model innovations such as CoT reasoning. This is a challenge that will continually be faced as AI is further developed. It's a good example of new job roles and technology services being created within industry as AI use becomes more prevalent. Such governance and AI controls are increasingly becoming a board imperative, given the current drive at an executive level to transform business using AI. Risk from most AI is low. But it is important to assess and understand this. Higher-risk AI can still, at times, be worth pursuing. With appropriate AI governance, this AI can be controlled, solutions innovated and benefits achieved. As we move into an increasingly AI-driven world, businesses that gain the most from AI will be those that are aware of its fallibilities as well as its huge potential, and those that innovate, build and transform with AI accordingly.
