Visual approximation of the RISC-V community realizing they have little to no relevance in the real world. Hot Chips 2026 was brutal lol. It's almost an accidental ARM marketing event given how IBM and BOS Semi completely shut down RISC-V fans.

🔥Alibaba’s XuanTie chips have shipped more than 6 billion units to date. Jianyi Meng, chief scientist at DAMO Academy, shared the figure at the 2026 RISC-V China Summit. XuanTie is Alibaba DAMO Academy’s RISC-V processor IP brand, with C, E and R series covering high performance, energy efficiency and real-time processing. Omdia’s forecast: global RISC-V processor shipments growing nearly 30% a year through 2030, reaching ~25% of all processor shipments that year. DAMO Academy also released the E908A, its first automotive-grade enhanced chip.

Dashboard requests @AheadComputing used to take 3 months (2,160 hrs). With Dives, they take about 1.5 hrs (0.002 months). That's a lot less! AheadComputing is building a high-performance RISC-V CPU from scratch. Until recently, an engineer who needed a dashboard had to spec it, wait for the design enablement team to build it, review it, revise it, and wait again. Now hardware engineers make their own Dives: interactive data apps they describe to Claude Code, built on their data in MotherDuck. The design enablement team liked the side effect: "We removed ourselves from being the bottleneck." What else changed with Dives: 🦆 A Claude skill deploys each new Dive to the team's internal production site 🦆 One power engineer updates his Dives during meetings and has an updated dashboard within the hour 🦆 Dives of test run schedules and license usage exposed the bottlenecks that cut CI wait times from 8 hours to 1-2 🦆 Every Dive across every team is linked in one catalog and shared in weekly design reviews But the big one was this: "Every meeting now is shifted from trying to find answers to what to do about them."
