Chip Design
From design targets and architectural trade-offs through simulation and verification, document trade-offs between performance, power, and area—and the evidence behind each iteration.
01 / CollaborationEureka Plan
Apex Eureka Plan
We aim to build a “Eureka machine” capable of conducting original research autonomously and automating knowledge discovery—making scientific exploration more widely accessible.
This effort depends on your domain knowledge and scientific judgment. We invite researchers from academia and industry to turn the methods, constraints, and experience developed through research into reusable capabilities for discovery, so more researchers can explore questions that matter.

What We Believe
Lowering the resource barrier to scientific exploration.
Many research ideas require repeated experimentation, computation, and validation. Access to these resources remains uneven.
Apex Eureka Plan aims to bring together domain experts, AI capabilities, and research resources so research experience can be built on and be reused—and researchers in academia and industry have more room to explore.
Science of AI. AI for Science.
03 / ContributionsEureka Plan
What You Contribute
The value of research also lies in the path to a result.
We invite you to contribute the scientific reasoning that makes research work: how a problem is decomposed, why one approach is chosen over another, how validation is designed, and when a path should be abandoned.
Focus Areas
Scientific Computing
From problem formulation and algorithm selection through numerical experiments, capture judgments about accuracy, stability, convergence, and computational cost.
Quantitative Finance
From research hypotheses and data analysis through backtesting, capture strategy selection, bias detection, and robustness testing.
Robotics
From task definition and control or planning approaches through simulation or physical experiments, capture constraint handling, failure analysis, and strategy refinement.
Physics Simulation
From physical assumptions and model construction to solving and validating the model, capture judgments about boundary conditions, numerical error, and physical consistency.
Researchers and engineers in other related fields are equally welcome.
04 / SupportEureka Plan
How We Support Your Research
Recognition for your contribution.
Support for your research.
Academic contribution and research resources are central to Apex Eureka Plan.
Attribution and Provenance
The plan is designed to document contributions and subsequent reuse, with attribution linked to a contributor’s name and ORCID where provided.
Research Resource Support
Contributors may apply for free compute allocations and opportunities to use research systems to pursue their own research questions.
Joint Research and Publication
Contributors may take part in validating and extending promising results. Authorship and joint publication will be discussed according to actual contributions.
Co-developing Field Standards
Join discussions on validation methods, evaluation standards, and rules for recognizing contributions in your field.
Research Compensation
Paid full-time, internship, part-time, and research-collaboration arrangements may be offered for agreed contribution and review work. Scope and criteria will be defined before collaboration begins.
