Rivos

aid: rivos
name: Rivos
description: Rivos is a Santa Clara-based silicon startup founded in 2021 that designs data-center class GPUs and AI accelerators
  around the open RISC-V instruction set architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 3nm process. The company is also developing a
  CUDA-to-RISC-V translation layer to ease migration of Nvidia-based AI workloads onto its silicon. Rivos raised a 250 million
  dollar Series A in 2024 led by Matrix Capital Management with Walden Catalyst and Dell Capital Partners, followed by additional
  rounds bringing total funding above 370 million dollars at a valuation north of 2 billion dollars. In October 2025 Meta
  announced an agreement to acquire Rivos to bolster its in-house custom silicon program. The company has operated in near-stealth
  mode and currently exposes no public website content, SDKs, or APIs, so this profile is intentionally an empty apis list
  with external press and acquisition references.
