Intel now offers a set of 34 open source AI reference kits to the community, the result of a yearslong collaboration with Accenture, enabling developers and data scientists to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) faster and more easily. Each kit includes model code, training data, instructions for the machine learning pipeline, libraries and oneAPI components to optimize AI and make it accessible to organizations in multiarchitecture on-premises, cloud and edge environments.

"Intel AI reference kits give millions of developers and data scientists an easy, performant and cost-effective way to build and scale their AI applications in health and life sciences, financial services, manufacturing, retail and many other domains. Intel is committed to enabling an AI everywhere future through not just our portfolio of AI-accelerated processors and systems but also our contributions to an open AI software ecosystem. The reference kits are built using components of Intel's AI software portfolio and on the foundation of the open, standards-based, oneAPI multiarchitecture programming model," said Wei Li, Ph.D., Intel vice president and general manager of AI and Analytics.
