UST puts Claude to work on physical AI — chip-validation cycles cut 50–70%

IT services firm UST is deploying Claude across its engineering and operations platforms, including hardware validation where Claude Code reads chip schematics and pinouts and writes the regression tests engineers used to script by hand — cutting validation cycles from about four days to 48 hours. UST says it is training 20,000 associates on Claude, with healthcare-claims, telecom-operations, and banking workflows on the same stack.
