Add riscv64 (linux_riscv64) wheel to PyPI releases
## Add `linux_riscv64` wheel to PyPI releases
### Summary
`pip install llama-cpp-python` on riscv64 Linux currently requires building from source (~15 min on a 1.6 GHz RISC-V SoC). Adding `linux_riscv64` to the wheel build matrix would give riscv64 users a prebuilt wheel.
### Evidence
| | |
|---|---|
| **Tested wheel** | [`llama_cpp_python-0.3.16-cp313-cp313-linux_riscv64.whl`](https://github.com/gounthar/riscv64-python-wheels/releases/download/v2026.03.11-cp313/llama_cpp_python-0.3.16-cp313-cp313-linux_riscv64.whl) |
| **Hardware** | BananaPi F3 (SpacemiT K1, rv64imafdcv, 8 cores @ 1.6 GHz, 16 GB RAM) |
| **Python** | 3.13 (CPython) |
| **Build system** | cibuildwheel (scikit-build-core + CMake) |
| **Build time** | ~15 min (native, on hardware) |
The wheel imports and passes basic smoke tests on riscv64 Linux.
### Suggested CI change
**Workflow**: `.github/workflows/build-and-release.yaml`
Add a new job following the existing arm64 pattern:
```yaml
build_wheels_riscv64:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
submodules: recursive
- uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v3
with:
platforms: linux/riscv64
- uses: pypa/cibuildwheel@v2.22.0
env:
CIBW_ARCHS: riscv64
CIBW_SKIP: '*musllinux* pp*'
CMAKE_ARGS: >-
-DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING=ON
-DGGML_RISCV=ON
```
Critical: `-DGGML_RISCV=ON` enables the RISC-V SIMD (RVV) path in llama.cpp.
### Ecosystem context
- `manylinux_2_28_riscv64` images are available on `quay.io/pypa/` (landed in pypa/manylinux, 2025)
- cibuildwheel 3.x supports riscv64 via QEMU emulation
- auditwheel supports riscv64 platform tags
- maturin-action supports `riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu` cross-compilation
- Packages already shipping riscv64 wheels on PyPI: aiohttp, yarl, regex, markupsafe, charset-normalizer, rpds-py, multidict, propcache, watchfiles, rignore, setproctitle
- RISC-V hardware is shipping: SiFive HiFive, SpacemiT K1/K3, Sophgo SG2044 (64-core)
### Our temporary index
While upstream support is pending, we maintain a [PEP 503 index](https://gounthar.github.io/riscv64-python-wheels/simple/) with 50+ riscv64 wheels for the Python ML/AI stack, built natively on RISC-V hardware.
