Large Language Models have emerged as powerful tools for automating Register-Transfer Level (RTL) code generation, yet they face critical limitations: existing approaches typically fail to simultaneously optimize functional correctness and hardware efficiency metrics such as Power, Performance, and Area (PPA). Methods relying on supervised fine-tuning commonly produce functionally correct but suboptimal designs due to the lack of inherent mechanisms for learning hardware optimization principles. Conversely, external post-processing techniques aiming to refine PPA performance after generation often suffer from inefficiency and do not improve the LLMs’ intrinsic capabilities.To overcome these challenges, we propose ChipSeek, a novel hierarchical reward based reinforcement learning framework designed to encourage LLMs to generate RTL code that is both functionally correct and optimized for PPA metrics. Our approach integrates direct feedback from EDA simulators and synthesis tools into a hierarchical reward mechanism, facilitating a nuanced understanding of hardware design trade-offs. Through Curriculum-Guided Dynamic Policy Optimization (CDPO), ChipSeek enhances the LLM’s ability to generate high-quality, optimized RTL code. Evaluations on standard benchmarks demonstrate ChipSeek’s superior performance, achieving state-of-the-art functional correctness and PPA performance. Furthermore, it excels in specific optimization tasks, consistently yielding highly efficient designs when individually targeting fine-grained optimization goals such as power, delay, and area. The artifact is open-source in https://github.com/rong-hash/chipseek.

The Mutual Reinforcement Effect (MRE) describes a phenomenon in information extraction where word-level and sentence-level tasks can mutually improve each other when jointly modeled. While prior work has reported MRE in Japanese, its generality across languages and task settings has not been empirically validated, largely due to the lack of multilingual MRE datasets. To address this limitation, we introduce the Multilingual MRE Mix dataset (MMM), which consists of 21 sub-datasets covering English, Japanese, and Chinese. We propose an LLM-assisted dataset translation and alignment framework that significantly reduces manual annotation effort while preserving the structural requirements of MRE tasks. Building on MMM, we adopt a unified input-output framework to train an open-domain information extraction model and conduct extensive empirical studies, including full fine-tuning ablations and the construction of knowledgeable verbalizers based on MRE-mix data. Experimental results show that 76 percent of the MMM sub-datasets consistently exhibit the Mutual Reinforcement Effect across languages. These findings provide systematic empirical validation of MRE in multilingual settings and demonstrate its practical value for information extraction.
