  • We present a novel approach to solving the floorplanning problem by leveraging fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs). Inspired by subitizing--the human ability to instantly and accurately count small numbers of items at a glance--we hypothesize that LLMs can similarly address floorplanning challenges swiftly and accurately. We propose an efficient representation of the floorplanning problem and introduce a method for generating high-quality datasets tailored for model fine-tuning. We fine-tune LLMs on datasets with a specified number of modules to test whether LLMs can emulate the human ability to quickly count and arrange items. Our experimental results demonstrate that fine-tuned LLMs, particularly GPT4o-mini, achieve high success and optimal rates while attaining relatively low average dead space. These findings underscore the potential of LLMs as promising solutions for complex optimization tasks in VLSI design.
