Apple plans to allow third-party developers to write software using its artificial intelligence models, aiming to promote the development of new applications and enhance the attractiveness of its devices.

▌What is RISC-V?

RISC-V is a modern open source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on the principles of reduced instruction set computers (RISC). Simply put, it is like a blueprint that defines a set of instructions that a processor can execute. The design goals of RISC-V are to be highly modular, efficient, and flexible. Originally developed by the University of California in 2010, the open-source framework gives developers the flexibility to customize its functionality and use cases, and it also saves costs compared to proprietary ISAs such as ARM or x86. RISC-V has a wide range of uses, from supercomputers to smartphones, and now blockchains such as Ethereum. On April 20, 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced a "radical" new expansion plan that will replace the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the RISC-V instruction set architecture, aiming to improve the speed and efficiency of the network's execution layer. The idea is that RISC-V is the best solution to the scalability limitations of blockchains.
