This will simplify GenAI development and deployment, thereby accelerating time-to-market. ## What is OPEA? -The project currently consists of a technical conceptual framework that enables GenAI implementations to meet enterprise-grade requirements. The project offers a set of reference implementations for a wide range of enterprise use cases that can be used out-of-the-box. The project additionally offers a set of validation and compliance tools to ensure the reference implementations meet the needs outlined in the conceptual framework. This enables new reference implementations to be contributed and validated in an open manner. Partnering with the LF AI & Data places in the perfect spot for multi-partner development, evolution, and expansion. +The project currently consists of a technical conceptual framework that enables GenAI implementations to meet enterprise-grade requirements.

Partnering with the LF AI & Data places it in the perfect spot for multi-partner development, evolution, and expansion. ## What problems are faced by GenAI deployments within the enterprise? -Enterprises face a myriad of challenges in development and deployment of Gen AI. The development of new models, algorithms, fine tuning techniques, detecting and resolving bias and how to deploy large solutions at scale continues to evolve at a rapid pace. One of the biggest challenges enterprises come up against is a lack of standardized software tools and technologies from which to choose. Additionally, enterprises want the flexibility to innovate rapidly, extend the functionality to meet their business needs while ensuring the solution is secure and trustworthy. The lack of a framework that encompasses both proprietary and open solutions impedes enterprises from charting their destiny. This results in enormous investment of time and money impacting time-to-market advantage. OPEA answers the need for a multi-provider, ecosystem-supported framework that enables the evaluation, selection, customization, and trusted deployment of solutions that businesses can rely on. +Enterprises face a myriad of challenges in the development and deployment of GenAI.

OPEA answers the need for a multi-provider, ecosystem-supported framework that enables the evaluation, selection, customization, and trusted deployment of solutions that businesses can rely on. ## Why now? -The major adoption and deployment cycle of robust, secure, enterprise-grade Gen AI solutions across all industries is at its early stages. Enterprise-grade solutions will require collaboration in the open ecosystem. The time is now for the ecosystem to come together and accelerate GenAI deployments across enterprises by offering a standardized set of tools and technologies while supporting three key tenets – open, security, and scalability. This will require the ecosystem to work together to build reference implementations that are performant, trustworthy and enterprise-grade ready. +The major adoption and deployment cycle of robust, secure, enterprise-grade GenAI solutions across all industries is in its early stages.

This will require the ecosystem to work together to build reference implementations that are performant, trustworthy, and enterprise-grade ready. ## How does it compare to other options for deploying Gen AI solutions within the enterprise? -There is not an alternative that brings the entire ecosystem together in a vendor neutral manner and delivers on the promise of open, security and scalability. This is our primary motivation for creating OPEA project. +There is no alternative that brings the entire ecosystem together in a vendor-neutral manner and delivers on the promise of openness, security, and scalability.

Enterprises can always extend OPEA project with other multi-vendor proprietary solutions to achieve their business goals. +Like any other open-source project, the community will determine which components are needed by the broader ecosystem.

As a starting point, Intel has contributed a Technical Conceptual Framework that shows how to construct and optimize curated GenAI pipelines built for secure, turnkey enterprise deployment. At launch, Intel contributed several reference implementations on Intel hardware across Intel® Xeon® 5, Intel® Xeon® 6 and Intel® Gaudi® 2, which you can see in a Github repo here. Over time we intend to add to that contribution including a software infrastructure stack to enable fully containerized AI workload deployments as well as potentially implementations of those containerized workloads. +OPEA is to be defined jointly by several community partners, with a call for broad ecosystem contribution, under the well-established LF AI & Data Foundation.
