Tenstorrent designs and builds computers for AI, working across the full stack: computer architecture, silicon design, and software. Its product line includes AI Graph Processors, high-performance RISC-V CPU designs, and configurable chiplets. The company maintains an open-source software stack that includes TT-Forge, a compiler, tt-metalium, and its RISC-V CPU designs - reflecting a stated commitment to open, collaborative innovation and avoiding vendor lock-in.
The engineering work spans a range of technically demanding disciplines: chip design, compiler development, hardware-software co-design, and AI acceleration. Hardware and software engineers work closely together, and the company draws its workforce from organizations including AMD, Tesla, and Intel. Teams are distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia, operating as a global organization while aiming to preserve the pace and flexibility of a smaller company.
Tenstorrent orients its working culture around deep technical work and tangible output. Engineers are expected to ship regularly, and the structure is designed to prioritize meaningful contribution over administrative overhead. First-principles thinking is an explicit value, and cross-disciplinary collaboration between hardware and software teams is central to how the company operates.
