More and more of you are hearing about Intel Gaudi. But how can you use it and get started with it to develop AI software? We've got limited seats from July to September for a 3-part workshop series spanning from LLMs to multi-modal models to RAG applications, taught by Eduardo Alvarez, Rakshith Krishnappa, PRAVEEN KUNDURTHY, Roberto Marivela, Ph.D., and me! It's HANDS-ON, meaning you get access to Gaudi to follow along with your instructor. See you there! #iamintel #IntelAI #IntelGaudi #IntelSoftware

Last week I attended Dell Technologies World with Intel Corporation in Las Vegas at the Venetian. Chris Rough from Dell Technologies and I were showing attendees one of the many creative things you can do with the Intel Gaudi AI accelerator. You snap some photos of yourself, finetune the Dreamlike Diffusion model based on Stable Diffusion v1.5, and give a prompt of the superhero you want to be, ALL IN JUST A FEW MINUTES on Gaudi. It will then generate a portrait of you as a superhero! I found and customized some prompts to create a "Golden Cosmos Warrior", "Lightning God/Goddess", and "Female Warrior" on top of our default spaced-themed superhero. Check out the sample pictures! And apparently, it can create me as a female warrior... We also had this demo running at a lounge where attendees could create a rockstar album cover. Imagine you looking like David Bowie, John Lennon, Madonna, or Adele! You can read more about this demo and how to set up on your Gaudi instance from this article written by my colleagues Preethi Venkatesh and Srinarayan Srikanthan: https://lnkd.in/geP8AYKB Shoutout to Greg Serochi Srinarayan Srikanthan Aviv Day for getting this demo up and running, Jill Carroll and Michael Simon for showing and explaining this demo to attendees, and Lisa Peterson and Liz Hawes for organizing the Intel booth! Great to see my friend Vasudev Lal once again at a conference in Las Vegas. It was also a fun experience to check out AI demos from Dell's partners. The food was the best I've ever had at any conference. And we had a treat at the end with Jerry Seinfeld! #intel #dell #delltechnologiesworld #ai #gaudi

Louie Tsai and I collaborated with Insight and Dell Technologies to deliver an AI workshop, where I talked about Intel's AI vision and partnering with Intel for success. Went over Xeon 6, Gaudi 3, and the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA). Made some new connections with our partners, and got a chance to tour Levi's Stadium!

My colleagues Pramod Pai and Kevin Ta, PhD are conducting a webinar: LLM Optimizations using Transformers and PyTorch on CPU and GPU. I heard there's a demo...join us on May 8! Registration link in the event page. #intel #ai #llm #software #pytorch #transformers

1 week ago I had the privilege to attend LA Hacks at UCLA on behalf of Intel Corporation to support students to use our Intel® Tiber™ Developer Cloud with Xeon CPUs and Max GPUs, as well as our AI Tools. It was so much fun and nostalgic to be back at my alma-mater, strolling down Bruin Walk, admiring Royce Quad, and walking inside Pauley Pavilion, the place I had my commencement back in 2017. The best part was definitely talking to students and of course, fellow Bruins. Check out the projects done by our 3 winners who submitted to the Intel track: 1st: Soundscape - https://lnkd.in/gU-83-pv They also won 3rd place overall! 2nd: Aide-n - https://lnkd.in/guWUKKtv 3rd: Scribe - https://lnkd.in/ggmu4GBx When I attended LA Hacks as a participant 10 years ago back in 2014 (the first time it was held in Pauley, btw) the hype was around Internet of Things. The sponsors had microcontrollers, sensors, and WiFi modules. This year, it's AI-focused with cloud compute resources, AI agent APIs, and large-language models. How things have changed! My Building a Custom Chatbot workshop had 66 attendees, the most I've had this year. Materials: https://lnkd.in/gwtqq3Pc Intel® Tiber™ Developer Cloud has a free version, try it out to get access to compute resources: https://lnkd.in/gsxfnPMD Our Intel booth was apparently "insanely raved about from everyone". I can see why, and you can see it in my photos. I bumped into 2 familiar faces: Achinthya Poduval and William Goodin, PhD. I could not help myself in wearing a UCLA t-shirt for the photos. Go Bruins! 🐻 Props to the LA Hacks staff for making the Intel team feel like VIPs. Their hospitality exceeded my expectations, and overall it was a well-organized event. And finally, shoutout to my teammates! Gabrielle Amoranto Robert Chesebrough Rahul Unnikrishnan Nair Ugonna Chikezie Here's a fun video that Gabbi made: https://lnkd.in/g_b_5APs

Meta Llama 3 is here! All validated on Gaudi, Xeon, Core Ultra, and Arc. #iamintel #ai #llm
