At Open Source Summit Europe 2026, openKylin introduced its vision for reimagining Linux in the AI era. Min Liu, Executive Director of openKylin, presented KART, a unified AI runtime, and a system-level agent execution environment. Jianfeng Li discussed building an AI-ready Linux desktop on RISC-V.
Key points
- openKylin introduced KART, a unified AI runtime.
- Jianfeng Li discussed an AI-ready Linux desktop on RISC-V.
- openKylin aims to develop an AI-integrated OS.
- The community proposes shifting from resource to intent management.
- Fragmented AI stacks and complex integration are key challenges.
openKylin, an open-source operating system community originating in China, aims to develop an AI-integrated OS for global users. The project showcased its latest work on AI and operating system integration through presentations and developer exchanges.
The community believes the key challenge for AI innovation is no longer just model capability, but the system infrastructure connecting AI with everyday computing. Current AI stacks are fragmented, and hardware-software integration remains complex.
To address this, openKylin proposes a shift in operating system management from "resource management" to "intent management." Traditional operating systems manage CPUs and memory, while AI-era operating systems need to manage AI functionalities more directly.
