Ukrainian developer Slava S. (GitHub user slvDev) successfully ran a 28.9-million-parameter language model on the $10 ESP32-S3 microcontroller, demonstrating the feasibility of local AI inference on extremely low-cost hardware. Despite the chip's limited resources—512KB SRAM, 8MB PSRAM, and 16MB Fla

In a move highlighting the potential of open-source hardware, hardware hacker Matthias Balwierz (aka Bitluni) has constructed a home-built GPU using 8,192 RISC-V microcontrollers. This ambitious project showcases his expertise in custom hardware design, power delivery, and embedded systems integrati

In a time of soaring GPU prices, hardware hacker Matthias Balwierz (aka Bitluni) has built a custom graphics processing unit using 8,192 RISC-V microcontrollers, creating a 320x200 display that doubles as a GPU-and-monitor combo. Each chip, a QingKe CH570 RISC-V unit, runs at up to 100 MHz and inclu

On June 23, 2026, Infineon Technologies AG announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch a cloud-based virtual platform aimed at accelerating automotive microcontroller (MCU) evaluation. The platform, powered by AWS, eliminates the need for physical hardware, reducing evaluation
