Plugin-Based Chip Specifications and a Cost Dashboard

FM-Agent unifies hardware and software specification generation and makes cost forecasts visible while analysis runs.

Plugin-Based Chip Specification Generation

Chisel and Verilog specification generation is now integrated into the main branch through the plugin interface. LLVM CIRCT builds accurate Chisel module dependency graphs.

./install.sh --with-chisel && uv run python main.py /path/to/repo --plugin chip

Cost Forecasts in the TUI Dashboard

Start FM-Agent and its terminal UI together with:

uv run python main.py /path/to/repo --dashboard

The dashboard estimates execution time, LLM calls, tokens, and cost from historical runs without calling an LLM before analysis.
