  • RISC-V International’s staff bring together expertise from multiple disciplines to advance our mission of promoting the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). On the RISC-V blog, we highlight stories from and about our members that showcase collaboration, innovation, and growth across the RISC-V ecosystem.


At RISC-V North American Summit in Santa Clara, Ashling and Embecosm today announced robust ExecuTorch implementations optimised for resource-constrained devices, including RISC-V based microcontrollers. The collaboration enables developers to deploy and run PyTorch-based AI models efficiently on baremetal and embedded targets, bringing advanced AI inference to the edge.

From PyTorch to ExecuTorch on Edge Devices

PyTorch is an open-source software framework that developers use to build, train and run AI models. Launched in 2016 by Meta and written with a very Pythonic feel, it is popular because it is easy to read, quick to iterate, and powerful enough for innovative research and large-scale production. The ecosystem includes well-known libraries for vision and audio, plus a vast community that contributes examples, pre-trained models, and best practices.
