Creating a fun and engaging environment ensures that people remember the company from a human perspective, not just as a technology provider. “My perspective is that I’m here to show you the best of everything we have, but we can’t forget that we’re walking in the footsteps of all these giants here at CVPR, all these talents,” Raymond recognizes. “The whole purpose of the party is to put the right people together at the right time. Of course, it has to be fun!” He points out that Intel’s commitment to the community goes beyond superficial engagement. It brings hardware and software engineers to CVPR for hands-on support and expertise. “We care by showing up,” he attests. “In our booth, we have the people that do the actual development. Two engineers with PhDs in Optimization will show you how we optimize the hardware. It’s not just telling you to read the documentation; the engineers are here to talk to you if you want extra help. We’re here for you!” Raymond says they regularly add people to LinkedIn, give them demos, and this year, even gave away Discrete Arc GPUs, AI PC DEV KITs, and AI PCs featuring the Intel Core Ultra, which combines NPU, CPU, and GPU capabilities. “It’s a very powerful machine in the sense that, 10 years ago, if I saw it, I’d be like, ‘Oh my God!’” he exclaims. “For students, this is actually their laptop in the coming years. We’re shipping hundreds of millions of these.” He stresses to students the importance of making their innovative solutions accessible and repeatable. “Great, you have your solution, but have you thought about giving it to your friends and your friends’ friends?” he asks. “Think about the layer of people that can benefit from your work. That’s why I say these kinds of laptops are not just laptops; they’re tools for expanding your ideas.” “OpenVINO Notebooks repository has literally hundreds of tutorials!” AI Evangelists at Work
