Cognichip
Cognichip is an AI-first semiconductor company revolutionizing the way chips are designed. Its core technology, Artificial Chip Intelligence (ACI), is built on what the company describes as the world's first physics-informed foundation AI model tailored for chip design, positioning ACI as a new scaling factor for semiconductors. ACI aims to understand, learn, and solve chip design problems with designer-level cognitive abilities, reducing design effort by roughly 75% and cutting completion time in half to address the industry bottleneck where chip development can take three to five years. Founded by semiconductor and AI veterans including CEO Faraj Aalaei and CTO Ehsan Kamalinejad, the company is backed by Lux Capital, Mayfield, and Seligman Ventures, has Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan on its board, and was named to Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies of 2026. Added to the API Evangelist network and enriched by the pipeline; the company publishes a marketing and corporate presence today with no public developer or API surface.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Cognichip the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cognichip scores 14.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Cognichip
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Cognichip. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
