Abstract
The International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. The theme for ISSCC 2025 is “The Silicon Engine Driving the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Revolution.” This theme further highlights how today’s IC research and development can contribute to the solid-state foundation upon which AI is rapidly evolving and pervasively entering people’s lives. ISSCC 2025 is the 72nd edition of ISSCC and is more than ever focused on innovation, in particular, innovative solutions that facilitate the efficient implementation of AI algorithms. To enhance and support the widespread use of AI, ISSCC 2025 promotes and shares new circuit ideas that advance the state of the art in IC design and further equip AI systems with improved functionality and efficiency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
