Can you list some of these shuttle companies? What are the most popular/reputable ones?

When I have worked at large companies we handled everything ourselves and dealt directly with the fabs.

When I worked at startups and smaller companies we have interacted with:

Global Unichip Corporation (I believe TSMC owns part of the company)

Open Silicon (they literally merged with SiFive to become OpenFive and made this chip in the article)

Uniquify

Socionext

There are others but these are the 4 that I have dealt with.
