以下文章来源于远川科技评论 ，作者何律衡 远川科技评论 . 刻画这个时代（的前沿科技） 继光刻机之后，EDA有望成为集成电路产业新的出圈词汇。 随着BIS的出口管制得到全球前三大EDA供应商陆续证实，中国集成电路产业链再度迎来考验。 EDA全称 Electronic Design Automation （ 电子设计自动化 ） ，是芯片生产使用的工业软件的总称，类似 于建筑设计的CAD软件——事实上，EDA最初就被视为CAD的一个分支。 作为芯片工程师的Photoshop，EDA把画电路变成了素材排列组合+写代码，几乎贯穿芯片生产的整个生命周 期。ASML用来校准光刻机镜头的专业软件，便出自EDA开发商 新思科技 之手。 一旦离开了EDA工具，想在指甲盖大小的芯片里集成上百亿晶体管，无疑是天方夜谭。 用于芯片设计的EDA软件 相比半导体设备市场欧、美、日多家龙头相互制约、相对分散的竞争格局，前三大EDA厂商垄断了近80%的 市场份额，且均为美国公司。与之对应，国内EDA爬坡多年，国产替代率仅勉强超过10%[2]。 EDA是美国集成电路产业优势最大的板块，也是国内产业链最薄弱的环节。 自动化与分工 EDA与集成电 ...

端到端多模态GUI智能体有了"自我反思"能力！南洋理工大学MMLab团队提出框架GUI-Reflection。 随着多模态大模型的发展， 端到端GUI智能体 在手机、电脑等设备上的自动化任务中展示出巨大潜力。它们能够看懂设备屏幕，模拟人类去 点击按钮、输入文本，从而完成复杂的任务。 然而，当前端到端GUI多智能体的训练范式仍存在明显的瓶颈：当前模型往往使用几乎完美的离线演示轨迹进行训练，使得模型缺乏反思和改 正自身错误的能力，并进一步限制了通过在线强化学习激发和提升能力的可能。 GUI-Reflection 的核心思想是在智能体的各个训练阶段引入 "反思与纠错"机制 ，这一机制贯穿 预训练、监督微调和在线训练 全过程，模 拟了人类 "犯错→反思→重试" 的认知过程。 1. GUI预训练阶段： GUI-Reflection 团队 投稿 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 提出GUI-Reflection Task Suite任务套件, 将反思纠错能力进一步分解，让模型在预训练阶段框架让模型初步接触反思类任务，为后续打 下基础。 2. 离线监督微调阶段： 构建自动化数据管道，从已有离线无错轨迹中构建带有反思和纠错的 ...
