LintLLM introduces a novel open-source framework that overcomes traditional Verilog linting limitations by harnessing the power of large language models.

• Employs Logic-Tree Prompting and Defect Tracker to identify code issues with higher accuracy
• Reduces false positives and redundant defect reports that plague traditional linting tools
• Creates an accessible, open-source solution for hardware engineers and security teams
• Demonstrates how LLMs can transform specialized engineering domains

This innovation is critical for hardware security and design reliability, enabling more efficient detection of potential defects before they impact production systems.
