ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Compact Model Coalition

The compact model coalition is like a group of friends who agree to follow the same rules when they play together. They are scientists and engineers who create computer programs that help design computer chips for cell phones and other electronic devices.

These computer programs, called compact models, are like maps that tell the designers how the chip will work and what it will do. The coalition helps make sure that all the maps work the same way and are easy for everyone to use.

This is important because different companies might use different maps, which would make it hard to design chips that work well with each other. The coalition makes sure that everyone uses the same maps, so the chips work well together and electronic devices can be made faster and better.
