Nvidia Put a Billion RISC-V Cores in Its Own Chips. Can the Open Standard Route Around CUDA?

Nvidia shipped roughly a billion RISC-V cores in 2024, then announced it would run CUDA on the open standard. We break down how royalty-free instruction sets and open software stacks are trying to route around CUDA's lock-in. Part 2 of the Semiconductor Sovereignty series.
