Intel will empower GenAI developers and athletes around the world through an open and accessible AI system.
Santa Clara, California, July 18, 2024–(Business Wire)–what’s new: Today, Intel announced exciting details about its collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its industry-led Generative AI (GenAI) Search Augmented and Generative (RAG) solution. These announcements demonstrate how open AI systems and platforms using Intel® Gaudi® AI accelerators and Intel® Xeon® processors will empower developers and businesses to tackle the challenges created by the AI boom.
“Through our partnership with the International Olympic Committee, we’re demonstrating our dedication to making AI accessible. We’re fostering an open playing field that encourages innovation and creativity and enables developers and companies to build customized AI solutions that deliver tangible results. By embracing an open and collaborative ecosystem, Intel is transforming the way we support athletes and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with our customers.”
– Justin Hotard, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Group, Intel
How Athlete365 works: Qualifying for the Olympics is just the beginning for athletes. To help nearly 11,000 athletes from different languages and cultures navigate the venues and follow rules and guidelines, the IOC worked with Intel to develop a chatbot, Athlete365. A RAG solution powered by Intel Gaudi accelerators and Xeon processors, Athlete365 can handle athlete inquiries and interactions, and provide on-demand information while they’re in the Olympic Village in Paris, allowing them to focus on training and competing.
Why is this important: Deploying GenAI solutions comes with challenges including cost, scale, accuracy, development requirements, privacy, and security. RAG is a critical GenAI workload because it enables enterprises to securely leverage their own data and improve the timeliness and reliability of AI output. This improves the quality and usefulness of AI applications, which are crucial in today’s data-driven world.
“Intel’s collaborative approach, leveraging its AI platform, open standards, and robust software and systems ecosystem, enables developers to build GenAI RAG solutions customized to each company’s needs. The momentum shared today highlights Intel’s commitment to delivering open, robust, and composable multi-provider generative AI solutions.”
How the GenAI RAG solution architecture works: Intel is working with industry partners to develop open-source, interoperable solutions to make RAG deployment easy. GenAI solutions are industry-driven, ready-to-use, production-ready RAG solutions built on the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA) foundation. GenAI turnkey solutions provide a streamlined approach to deploying RAG solutions in enterprise data centers while integrating components from multiple OEM systems and catalogs from industry partners, making them highly flexible and customizable by design.
The GenAI turnkey solution integrates OPEA-based microservices components into a scalable RAG solution designed to deploy Xeon and Gaudi AI systems, seamlessly scales with proven orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift, and provides standardized APIs with security and system telemetry.

Breaking down proprietary barriers with an open software stack: Nearly all Large Scale Language Model (LLM) development is based on the high abstraction framework PyTorch, supported by Intel Gaudi and Xeon technologies, making development easier on Intel AI systems or platforms. Intel, in collaboration with OPEA, has developed an open software stack for RAG and LLM deployment optimized for GenAI turnkey solutions and built using PyTorch, Hugging Face serving libraries (TGI and TEI), LangChain, and Redis Vector database.

Meet developers where they are: OPEA provides enterprises with an open-source, standardized, modular, heterogeneous RAG pipeline with a focus on open model development and support for various compilers and toolchains. This foundation accelerates the integration and delivery of containerized AI for unique vertical use cases. OPEA unlocks new AI possibilities by creating a detailed, composable framework that is at the forefront of your technology stack.
With GenAI turnkey and comprehensive enterprise AI stacks, Intel offers a complete solution to address the challenges of deploying and scaling RAG and LLM applications within enterprises and data centers. By leveraging Intel-powered AI systems or platforms and OPEA’s optimized software, enterprises can unlock the full potential of GenAI with greater efficiency and speed.
What’s next: Increasing access to the latest AI computing technologies is a challenge enterprises face in achieving key business outcomes with GenAI. Through strategic collaboration with industry partners and customers, Intel is creating new opportunities for AI services leveraging GenAI and RAG solutions.
Intel is committed to the safe and responsible advancement of AI, and today announced it is joining Google, IBM and other industry partners in the new Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI), established to strengthen trust and security in the development and deployment of AI.
Intel plans to further demonstrate its unique approach to AI systems and continued customer and partner momentum at Intel Innovation on September 24th and 25th.
