On October 8, I’ll be joining my colleagues at Intel for a must-attend session that showcases the latest AI advancements for robotics. We’ll talk about applying YOLO, Whisper, ACT, and visual language models in robotics, and how they are transforming perception, communication, and interaction.  You’ll see how challenges like occlusion and timing can be addressed, and how OpenVINO™ provides developers with the speed and efficiency needed to move from research to deployment. This session is built to deliver practical insights that AI developers can apply right away.

Meet Lucas Melo, Cloud Solutions Architect at Intel and a driving force behind Intel Optimization Cloud Modules for Terraform and Ansible. Lucas brings his expertise in AI, DevOps, and cloud architecture into open source tools that help teams build smarter and operate more efficiently. His work turns Intel’s cloud optimizations into accessible, actionable code for the developers who need it most. This is open source with purpose. #OpenSource #MaintainerSpotlight

Meet Ben Deane, Principal Engineer at Intel and maintainer of Intel’s implementation of C++ senders and receivers for low-level systems. Ben’s path spans game development, high-frequency trading, and systems programming. At Intel, he works on asynchronous frameworks and power management, improving how systems run by making them faster, smoother, and more efficient. His contributions help shape the future of modern C++ at the system level. #OpenSource #MaintainerSpotlight

Data powers AI, but sometimes the right data doesn’t exist, or can’t be used. In this episode of Intel AI Essentials, Dr. Ehssan Khan shows how synthetic data played a critical role in developing Polite Guard, and how it's being used to fill gaps, reduce dependency on sensitive data, and speed up model development.

Should AI be polite, and does it matter if we are too? In the first episode of Intel AI Essentials, Dr. Ehssan Khan walks through Polite Guard, Intel’s new natural language model that helps AI respond with civility, no matter how it's prompted. The model isn’t just about tone. It’s a step toward safer, more productive interactions between humans and machines.

Meet Tony, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel and a key contributor to upstream Linux kernel development. He focuses on Intel® Xeon® server features such as RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) and RDT (Resource Director Technology), helping ensure the kernel continues to evolve with reliability, efficiency, and long-term maintainability. Through upstream-first development, Tony brings essential server infrastructure to the open source community where it has the greatest impact. #OpenSource #MaintainerSpotlight

People cry differently. People laugh differently. Even joy isn’t universal. So why do we teach AI to treat emotion like a checkbox? Most emotion recognition systems rely on shallow datasets with limited labels and rigid classifications. They flatten complex human signals into one-size-fits-all categories. That’s why Intel Corporation and LAION built EmoNet. It’s a new open-source benchmark and model suite designed to capture emotion the way we experience it: with nuance, intensity, and context.

In OPEA, a megaservice runs the show. It’s not a giant app, it’s a microservice that follows a blueprint to orchestrate a GenAI workflow. Each step is handled by smaller services working in sync. Smart coordination, built for scale. Learn more: https://intel.ly/4eCA4Wl

What happens when developers want speed, but security teams need control? Our Katherine Druckman talks with Stacklok CTO Luke Hinds, about where security fits into the developer workflow without slowing things down. The conversation covers Stacklok’s new projects, Minder and Trusty, and how AI-generated code and developer identity are reshaping how we think about secure software.
