This walkthrough points a locally-hosted SemiKong at real DRC on your own hardware: register the model, expose the Loom engines via vyges mcp, and let vyges drive the reason → run → read loop. Real captured output on a taped-out IP.

No cloud. No upload. No auth. The engines stay deterministic; the agent just drives.

We built it: WNS/TNS with signal integrity, foundry-standard formats, CI-native — in Rust, so it runs natively from Apple Silicon to Arm64 cloud, parallel-by-design.

Until VyCatalog, silicon had nothing equivalent. 125+ open-source silicon IPs, machine-readable, free, and growing.
