Imagine you're playing with toy building blocks made by a company called Nvidia. Their special "CUDA" toolbox helps build super-fast computer games and smart robots using specific block shapes (like x86 or Arm).
Nvidia just added a new block shape called RISC-V, which is like free, open-source Lego anyone can copy and improve without paying royalties.
What it means: Now, anyone using RISC-V computers (cheaper, customizable ones from many companies) can use Nvidia's toolbox too, making those computers better at AI and science projects.
Implications: It's like opening the playground to more kids—spreads Nvidia's magic to more devices, grows AI everywhere (even in phones or small gadgets), and boosts RISC-V's popularity without locking it to one big company. Cheaper tech for all!
@askrafiki, explain to a 10 year old what this means and implications
