Local-first
In DevelopmentEscanor runs EasyChip entirely on your own hardware - a local-first orchestrator for teams whose RTL and PDKs can't go to the cloud. Early access is opening.
Illustrative session - not actual tool output.
The problem
Most AI-EDA tools require shipping your RTL and PDKs to someone else's cloud. For teams under foundry NDAs, defense and aerospace constraints, or with IP that simply can't leave the building, that's a hard no - so they miss out on modern tooling entirely.
Escanor exists so the most IP-sensitive teams get the most capable tooling - without a single byte of design data leaving their control.
How Escanor is different
Escanor is a local-first CLI orchestrator. The tools, the design state, and the intelligence all execute on hardware you control.
Zero design-data exfiltration is a hard invariant across the platform - nothing about your RTL, constraints, or PDKs is sent out.
Designed for the networks chip IP actually lives on - including environments that never touch the public internet.
Escanor drives the EasyChip suite alongside the flow you already run. Adoption is an addition, not a migration.
Side by side
| Dimension | Escanor (local-first) | Cloud-only AI-EDA |
|---|---|---|
| Data residency | Your infrastructure, always | Off-site vendor cloud |
| RTL / PDK handling | Never leaves your machines | Uploaded to run |
| Connectivity requirement | Built for isolated networks | Requires connectivity |
| Integration | Wraps the flow you already run | Varies by vendor |
| Who controls the environment | You do | The vendor does |
Who it's for
PDKs under NDA can’t touch third-party clouds. With Escanor they never have to.
Programs with strict data-handling constraints get modern tooling inside their own perimeter.
When the design is the product, data egress is an existential risk - so there is none.

Fair questions
With Escanor, nowhere - it runs the platform entirely on your own infrastructure, with no design data leaving your machines. Local-first is a hard invariant across every tool we ship.
No. EasyChip is the cockpit above your signoff engines - it consolidates and orchestrates the secondary toolchain around them and owns the integration and developer-experience layer, not the signoff itself. You keep the engines the industry already trusts.
Book a demo and we'll walk you through the platform on your use case, or join early access to get tools as they open up. VisUPF is free and open source. For pricing, talk to us - plans are shaped around individuals, teams, and IP-sensitive enterprises.
