Summary
The rapid growth of AI is placing new, and even transformative, demands on foundational software like operating systems. In this new era, building a global, open-source infrastructure has become a critical priority. From a technical perspective, two key challenges stand out: innovating at the software level to support AI growth, and using AI itself to upgrade operating systems and infrastructure.
Since launching in 2019, openEuler has grown rapidly into one of the world's largest open-source communities. This Seminar will cover openEuler’s current progress and its roadmap for the next phase. We will also look at future trends in AI infrastructure through the lens of openEuler’s technical experience.
