Maestro targets chip design workflows

Maestro combines domain-specialized models with Cadence AI Super Agents, electronic design automation tools and system design automation tools. Cadence said the portfolio can use frontier, open-weight and specialized models in cloud, public-cloud and customer-controlled on-premises environments.

The first Maestro models are available to select early-access customers in the fourth quarter of 2026. Customers can also post-train the models on proprietary designs, data and workflows, which gives the product a direct link to existing engineering processes rather than treating AI as a standalone application.
