with the hype of ai/ml, do you think they will reduce headcount there (both in Ansys and synopsys) or they will layoff revenue making R&D teams at the cost of promise of big returns from their ai/ml offerings in the future?

I heard from a few people that the teams working in the focus areas are safe. From my understanding one of the focus area is AI/ML (not sure about any of the other areas. May be quantum or GPUs?) This is specific to Ansys though and not wider Synopsys.
Not now, but there will be major reductions specifically in those teans when the AI hype dies and Synopsys realises that it ain't Nvidia, Apple or Meta. Give it two quarters.
If they approach this delicate headcount reduction correctly, neither of them IMO, as both are investment areas.
