The free, open instruction set — AI's hedge against architecture licensing.
You're looking at a technology record: a building block of AI hardware — what it does, who makes it, and which chips and systems use it.
RISC-V is an open ISA anyone may implement without license fees. Tenstorrent builds its AI chips on it, NVIDIA ships billions of embedded RISC-V cores inside its GPUs, and China's substitution programs lean on it — the open-source counterweight in compute's foundation layer.
