AI Reference Kits
In collaboration with Accenture*, Intel offers a series of downloadable AI reference kits to the open source community to help enterprises accelerate their digital transformation journey. These kits are built upon the AI application tools that Intel provides to data scientists and developers.
Solve Important Business Problems
Intel has selected AI reference kits for their impact on the problems they solve across various industries. Each kit includes an AI model developed to deliver higher accuracy, better performance in training and inference, and lower overall total cost of ownership.

Benefits
Innovate Faster with Open Source Machine Learning Kits
Released to the open source community, the AI models were designed, trained, and tested from among thousands of models to release the one best suited for the use case. Data scientists can further customize and fine-tune the model with data from their industries.
Designed and Optimized for the Machine Learning Pipeline
Each reference kit includes a user guide to accelerate AI deployment in the enterprise, including:
- Data ingesting
- Data preprocessing
- Machine learning modeling
- Hyperparameter tuning
- Model serving and deployment
- Benchmarking
Build More Models Using Less Compute Resources
All AI models are optimized using Intel libraries, frameworks, and tools for AI development needs, powered by oneAPI, for faster training and inferencing performance using less compute resources. The AI reference kits use components from Intel's AI software portfolio, including Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit and the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.
Example Results
Up to a 25% increase in prediction accuracy for predictive asset maintenance.
Predict Utility Asset Health to Deliver Higher Service Reliability
Up to 20% faster training and 55% faster inferencing time for visual defect detection.
Automate Visual Quality Control Inspections for Life Sciences
Up to 45% faster inferencing in batch mode for enterprise conversational chatbots.
Step Up Interactions with an Enterprise Conversational AI Chatbot
A Hub of AI Reference Kits
Over 30 AI reference kits with trained machine learning and deep learning models have been released to the open source community. Each kit includes model code, training data, instructions for the machine learning pipeline, libraries, and Intel® oneAPI components.
See all code repositories and their underlying topics in one list.
Combine Multiple Kits to Optimize Business Processes
Multiple AI reference kits can be used together to transform a business. In this example, four stages of a pharmaceutical manufacturing business were automated and optimized. By training large datasets and identifying patterns, AI can improve efficiencies, product quality, and patient experience. This combined AI Reference Kit includes the following four kits:
- Demand Forecasting
- Predictive Asset Maintenance
- Visual Anomaly Detection
- Generative AI Chatbot
Try It for Yourself
This combined AI Reference Kit comes with:
- AI and machine learning source code
- Developer guide
- Docker* container configuration files
- FastAPI* end-point script
- Instructions to deploy on Intel® Developer Cloud
- Synthetic data generation scripts (if applicable)
- Streamlit* web application front end (if applicable)
- Makefile for easier deployment (if applicable)
