Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence firm AIREV has announced a strategic partnership with US semiconductor giant Intel Corporation, signing a memorandum of understanding to accelerate the adoption of agentic AI across the Middle East and globally. The collaboration will see AIREV optimise its sovereign agentic operating system, OnDemand, for Intel’s powerful portfolio of Xeon processors and Gaudi AI accelerators.
A Strategic Push for High-Performance AI
The core of the partnership focuses on deep technical integration. AIREV and Intel will work together to optimise and validate the AIREV OnDemand platform on Intel’s hardware, creating comprehensive AI solutions that cater to a wide range of computational needs. This spans from latency-sensitive, small-scale inference tasks to the large-scale training of advanced language models. The collaboration aims to provide enterprises and government entities with scalable, secure, and high-performance AI solutions built on a trusted hardware foundation.
Joint Go-To-Market and Ecosystem Development
Beyond the technical optimisation, the agreement includes a comprehensive go-to-market strategy designed to fast-track enterprise AI innovation. The two companies will engage in joint activities including co-selling, co-marketing, product demonstrations, and pilot deployments for prospective clients. The partnership will also leverage Intel’s extensive partner ecosystem to co-develop innovative on-premises and cloud-based AI solutions tailored to diverse enterprise requirements in the region.
Powering the Next Wave of Agentic AI
This partnership highlights the growing importance of agentic AI systems, a critical application category that requires specialised platform support and hardware optimisation. Intel’s Gaudi 3 AI accelerator is designed specifically for demanding AI workloads, promising four times more AI compute for bfloat16 calculations and a 1.5 times increase in memory bandwidth over its predecessor. The architecture is built for scale, enabling tens of thousands of accelerators to connect via standard Ethernet, providing the immense power needed for both training and inferencing advanced AI models.
