YC-backed Simantic adds a simulation layer so AI agents can test firmware at software speed
ycombinator · x · 2026-11-04
Simantic, shared by Y Combinator, is a simulation layer that lets engineers and AI agents test and validate firmware at the speed of software. The pitch: frontier models have made generating firmware code cheap, but testing still relies on manual hardware debugging, expensive equipment, and decade-old tooling. Simantic aims to modernize firmware testing for the coding-agent era.
