" summary

RISC-V International describes concrete deliverables: a repository golden model that will sync with the ISA, running architectural compatibility tests for branding, and about 70 extensions today with nearly 100 expected by Q1 — notable additions are Crypto Vector, Zc compressed encodings and a 16‑register variant. Toolchain work (LLVM/GCC), OS interfaces (SBI/SEI) and two‑thirds of effort on software continue. Commercial momentum includes companies shipping hundreds of millions of cores, e.g. 600 million cores annually.
