What Tenstorrent does

Tenstorrent is a privately held computing company building AI accelerator chips, RISC-V CPU intellectual property, and open-source software tooling that lets developers compile and run machine-learning workloads on Tenstorrent hardware. The company’s approach centers on a full-stack path from model compilation to low-level kernels and deployment—aiming to make its accelerator platform both extensible for researchers (via open software) and usable for customers who want scalable systems (via products like TT-QuietBox and Galaxy server/workstation offerings).
