Publishing Chips
The Chips area is a catalogue of AI hardware — accelerators, GPUs, CPUs, NPUs, edge silicon and IP cores. Chips work differently from models and datasets in two ways: a stage (developing vs developed) and a moderator approval step before they go public.
Curated by staff. Creating a chip requires the moderator role. If you'd like hardware listed, reach out to a maintainer rather than self-publishing.
The stage model
You pick a stage when creating the chip:
| Stage | What you get | Detail page shows |
|---|---|---|
| Developing | An auto-provisioned git repository (public or private) to build the design in | A clone panel |
| Developed | A finished product — no repo | A photo showcase |
1. Create the listing
Open New chip on the Chips page (/chips/new) and fill in:
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stage | ✓ | Developing or Developed. |
| Name | ✓ | e.g. Vega-1. |
| Slug | ✓ | Lowercase, URL-safe; auto-derived from the name. |
| Manufacturer | ✓ | e.g. ChipAI Silicon. |
| Type | — | Accelerator, GPU, CPU, NPU, Edge, or Other. |
| Repository visibility | — | Developing only — public or private git repo. |
| Specs | — | TOPS, power (W), process node, memory. |
| Design metadata | — | Languages (Verilog, VHDL…), verification frameworks, libraries, IP cores, design types. |
You can also list a chip under an organization you belong to.
2. Approval gate
Every chip starts unpublished — there's no auto-approval. A moderator
reviews it and approves (PATCH /api/v1/chips/{id}/approve), which sets
published = true and makes it appear in public listings. Moderators can also
feature a chip.
3. After creating
What you do next depends on the stage — see Showcase & Repository.
