   Meta's Muse agent designed a RISC-V crypto SoC for about $2,000

   A semiconductor expert posting as @bubbleboi, also a mascot for the Thru blockchain project, says he used only Meta's Muse AI agent to design a crypto-focused RISC-V SoC: running place-and-route through OpenROAD, generating the final GDS layout file normally sent to a fab, and building in support for common cryptographic algorithms including SHA-256/512, Keccak, Ed25519 and secp256k1. He describes the design as roughly 61,590 logic cells running at 100 MHz with about 20 milliwatts of power, passing DRC without electrical problems plus RISC-V ACT suites and 1.5 million Berkeley TestFloat vectors. The run consumed about 100 million tokens, a cost he estimates at roughly $2,000; next steps he lists are adding vector instructions, removing the third-party baseline core and porting the Thru blockchain natively with a tailored memory map, and he is still seeking multi-project wafer slots. The claims come from his own post and have not been independently verified.

   ESWIN Computing lists in Hong Kong as the first RISC-V chip stock

   ESWIN Computing began trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange main board on October 9, billed as the first RISC-V chip stock, after a second entrepreneurial run by BOE founder Wang Dongsheng; Light Source Capital served as its multi-round exclusive financial adviser and an investor. Its prospectus shows revenue of RMB 1.752bn, 2.025bn and 2.431bn for 2023–2025, a roughly 17.8% three-year compound growth rate, with Q1 2026 revenue of RMB 494m, up 18.4% year on year. As of March 31, 2026 it reported more than 620 IP modules, over 20 RISC-V core series and more than 1,740 related patent applications, and says its 77 intelligent-computing SoC carries a self-developed NPU, supports full-stack floating-point compute and has deployed local large models; its RISC-V-based automotive MCUs serve smart seats, display assemblies, wireless charging and battery management.

   Industrial Edge AI: x86, Arm and RISC-V Face Off

   Industrial automation is among the fastest-growing verticals for edge AI processors, and the x86, Arm and RISC-V architecture camps are now competing head-on there. The article lays out three approaches: Intel leans on software frameworks such as Open Edge Platform and its ecosystem lock-in, while AMD's Ryzen AI Embedded X100 series (up to 80 TOPS) targets orchestration workloads for agentic AI; Rockchip combines Arm with RISC-V cores for efficiency and cost, with its RK182X co-processor reportedly designed into hundreds of customer projects and RK3572 aimed at PLCs, robot control and energy-storage gateways; on the RISC-V side, Alibaba DAMO Academy's XuanTie C950 (5nm, 3.2GHz, SPECint2006 single-core above 70) and Nuclei's NA900 target high performance and functional-safety use. Penetration rates, shipment forecasts and efficiency gains cited in the piece come from Yole Group and SHD Group estimates and vendor claims, and would need independent verification.
