Tenstorrent is a Canadian semiconductor company founded in 2016 that designs artificial intelligence accelerators and RISC-V processors, and it is unusual in the field for licensing its designs as intellectual property as well as selling hardware. It is led by Jim Keller, the chip architect behind AMD's Zen and Apple's early mobile processors, and its argument against Nvidia is openness: an open instruction set, open source software stack and licensable designs rather than a closed platform. Headquartered in Toronto and backed by investors including Samsung, Hyundai and Bezos Expeditions, it competes in a market where software maturity matters as much as silicon.
