Ever had those moments that stick with you, moments you'll never forget?    Well, picture this: Pat Gelsinger dancing at #IntelVision, unveiling the Gaudi 3 AI accelerator. It's like Steve Jobs revealing the iPhone in 2007—pure magic, right? These moments, they're what make history.   Here's what I took away from Intel Corporation’s Gaudi 3 announcement:   ✅ Gaudi 3 is a game-changer, plain and simple. It's got 4 times more AI power for BF16 and better memory bandwidth. It's smashing benchmarks left and right, making training 50% faster and inferencing 50% better, all while being 40% more power-efficient comparing to H100. ✅ And it's not just powerful; it's flexible too. Gaudi 3 can scale from one setup to a massive network, all using standard Ethernet. It's easy to integrate into existing systems and grow as needed.  ✅ What about deployment? You don't need to be a coding whiz to get it up and running. It plays nice with popular frameworks like PyTorch and community models, so you can hit the ground running. ✅ And here's the kicker: Intel's not just dropping this tech and calling it a day. They're teaming up with OEMs like Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo and Supermicro to get Gaudi 3 out there. Bharti Airtel, Bosch, CtrilS, IBM, IFF, Landing AI, Ola, NAVER, NielsenIQ, Roboflow, and Seekr are among the new customers and partners adopting Gaudi accelerators.    But the best part? Intel's not just thinking about today; they're setting the stage for the future of AI. Intel aims to create an open platform for enterprise AI in collaboration with SAP, Red Hat, VMware, and other industry leaders. This open platform will accelerate the deployment of secure generative AI systems enabled by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). By collaborating with industry leaders and pushing for open standards, they're paving the way for secure, cutting-edge AI systems that anyone can use.   So, from PCs to data centers, Intel's on a mission to make AI accessible and powerful for everyone. And with Gaudi 3 leading the charge, it's an exciting time to be in the game.   Stay tuned for more updates throughout this week. #IntelVision #IntelAmbassador #Edge #Technology #CEO #BoardDirectors   Subscribe to #CXOSpice newsletter (https://lnkd.in/gy2RJ9xg) and tune in for more insights about #IntelVision.   Subscribe to #CXOSpice Youtube channel (https://lnkd.in/gnMc-Vpj) and tune in for the latest episode with Jen Larson at Intel Corporation.   Follow me on X @YuHelenYu (https://lnkd.in/gD9Ti6fJ) to gain additional insights on #Technology and #Innovation       

CEOs of #OpenAI and #Intel cite #artificialintelligence's voracious appetite for #processingpower. Two #tech CEOs scrambling to produce more of the sophisticated #chips needed for #artificialintelligence (AI) met for a brainstorming session on Wednesday. The on-stage conversation between #Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and #OpenAI CEO #SamAltman unfolded in a San Jose, California, convention centre a few hours after Nvidia disclosed its quardrupled revenue for the November-January period. #Intel, a #SiliconValley pioneer that has been struggling in recent years, laid out its plans for catching up to #Nvidia during a daylong conference. Gelsinger kicked things off with an opening speech outlining how he envisions the feverish demand for #AI-equipped chips revitalizing his company in a surge he dubbed the “Siliconomy.” #artificialintelligence #aichips #openai #Intel #AIcompute #aiworkloads

Intel AI Summit yesterday at Munich One key takeaway for me was that Intel Corporation can compete in the one horse GPU race ... As the CEO of Creative Insights Technologies GmbH, I had the privilege of attending the recent #intelaisummit yesterday. The objective? To show the world that Intel Corporation has SW and HW tools to compete with the like of NVIDIA. GIVEN that the intel compiler tools are used to optimise for intel HW. Thanks for the chat Martha Ivanovas (after almost a year again!), who the Intel Ignite team says is the pedal power behind the cohorts! Here are some insights from the event: The keynote from Holger Banzhaf from DeepScenario unraveled the scope of video data in autonomous transport. The #IntelIgnite alum, known for computer vision AI, merges data from varying sources for automated system supervision. A testament to startups' role in driving AI technology forward. Prediction Guard presented their prompt sanitizing technology which also uses Intel HW to gain massive performance advantage! Vishwa Mohan Singh (Dimensify) presented their innovative platform harnessing the power of Machine Learning, combining NeRF and Stable Diffusion techniques to create immersive 3D content like never before. Stephan Gillich (Head of EMEA AI Center of Excellence, Intel Corporation) talk centred on Intel's AI suite and portfolio, with an emphasis on Intel® Tiber™ Developer Cloud. An essential resource for AI solution developers. @BjoernTaubert (Software Engineering EMEA, Intel Corporation) talked about AI PC where Intel Corporation introduces NPU, CPU and GPU all in one silicon die. OpenVINO toolkit is the SW of choice to compile your AI workloads to the respective optimized core. 𝗖𝗣𝗨 - Fast Response (Ideal for low-latency AI workloads) 𝗚𝗣𝗨 - Low Power (Ideal for sustained AI workloads and AI offload for battery life) 𝗡𝗣𝗨 - High Throughput (Ideal for AI accelerated digital content creation) With great food and drinks as always at #intelignite met a really interesting founder Arya Mazaheri (Founder of PanocularAI). He explained to Alois Eder and I about how they want to bring AI to low power ARM cores. Which coincidentally is also the strength of Creative Insights Technologies GmbH Many memorable conversations! That was my Intel AI Summit. What about yours?

NVIDIA faces a formidable challenge in the AI chip market as a coalition of tech giants, including Qualcomm, Google, and Intel Corporation, unite under the UXL Foundation to disrupt Nvidia's dominance. Spearheading an open-source initiative, they aim to develop a suite of software tools capable of running AI applications across diverse accelerator chips, directly targeting Nvidia's proprietary ecosystem, as reported by Reuters. The UXL Foundation, supported by Intel's OneAPI technology, seeks to democratize AI development, promoting productivity and hardware choice within a collaborative, open ecosystem. Do you really believe these companies actually keen on democratizing AI hardware? Or is this just a move to disrupt a looming threat to their continued dominance of the tech sector? _______________________________ Get up to speed on the latest developments in tech with our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dgR5-YPx #techbuzz #techbuzzventures #innovation #technology #ai #aihardware #aicommunity #generativeai #artificialintelligence #nvidia #qualcomm #intel #google #machinelearning #llms
