How StepPRM-RTL Uses Stepwise Rewards to Improve Verilog and VHDL Generation Large language models can now write a lot of code that looks plausible. Hardware description languages are a harder test. In Verilog and VHDL, a small mistake in a reset condition, state transition, or signal assignment can make an entire design fail simulation. That is why the latest work on RTL synthesis is interesting: it does not just ask whether a model can produce code, but whether the model can reason through a hardware task in a way that survives verification.
