Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Looking for a RISC-V core for verification
SweRV EH1 comes with a verilator testbench that can run compiled instructions. You'll need to expand on it if you want things like external memory etc.

Nvidia: GPUs can do better chip design in a few days than 10 man year
together foundations and the use domains of chip design, networks and robotics; (iii) the cycle of translation and impact brings research and the leading edge of practice closer together; and (iv) the cycle of research, education, and broadening participation grows the field and its workforce.*
The virtues written here are self evident & obvious. Trying to just get good yourself without trying to help advance the field, not participating, not taking advantages of scale of many working together, not participating in open research, the risks of having isolated teams, and not participating in cycles of development: whatever the nvidia or "publicly traded company" worlds think they're doing, they're missing out, and hurting everyone and especially themselves for this oldschool zero-sum competitive thinking.
There are plenty of company's releasing the chips too. Google's OpenTitan[2] security chip. WD's Swerv RISC-V core for their driver controller ARM R-series replacement[3]. Open standards if not chips like UCI for chiplets or CXL for interconnect are again examples of literally everyone but NVidia playing well together, trying for better, standardizing a future for participation & healthy competition & growth. Nvidia again and again is the company which simply will not play with others.
I challenge you to answer your own question in reverse: are any companies other than Nvidia embarking up AI/ML chipmaking in a closed fashion? There probably are, let's follow & watch them.

Is a single cycle CPU of any use besides learning?
Absolutely! I have no illusions that I'll build anything even remotely comparable to a commercial core. I had a look at the features of the WD SweRV core and the complexity simply blows my mind, I don't think I'll get there any time soon. This is purely for fun, but it will be much more satisfying if I can start using the CPU I designed in my tiny personal IoT projects. Hence the question, at what point can I start finding some use for it. Maybe an arduino replacement?

About RISC-V becoming so popular as ARM for Embedded Systems
Per your last point, I believe this is the most important one. Big vendors like WD can just design their own core and plop it down in all of their hard drives that ship in large volumes. They even share their RTL.
