Imagine predicting a hurricane’s or tornado’s impact in minutes, not days. Kamiwaza AI’s powerful orchestration engine, powered by Intel® Gaudi® 3 AI accelerators and Intel® Xeon® 6 processors, helps federal meteorologists automate analysis and extract insights from massive datasets—including over 90 years of climate data. to deliver faster, more accurate warnings.
At Intel Vision 2025, Luke Norris, CEO of Kamiwaza, and Sunny Wescott, federal chief meteorologist, demonstrated how the system processes 1 trillion data points from legacy weather sensors, a task that once took days, now completed in minutes. This speed is critical when every second counts.
By analyzing historical weather patterns, Kamiwaza AI links past anomalies to hurricane events, providing emergency responders with crucial context for faster decision-making. But its impact goes beyond weather: The platform’s multi-agent interface makes AI deployment simple across industries, turning complex data into lifesaving predictions or business-critical insights.
“This isn’t just forecasting—it’s foresight,” says Norris. With Intel’s cutting-edge tech, Kamiwaza AI is redefining speed and precision in data analysis—helping save lives before disaster strikes.
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, speaking to a broad tech ecosystem on Monday at Intel Vision 2025, shared insight into his approach to restore the company’s technology and manufacturing leadership. Pulling from his previous leadership roles and deep-seated industry experience, Tan reinforced that a customer-centric mindset will serve as the cornerstone of Intel’s strategy to leverage emerging technological advancements and capitalize on the significant software, hardware and foundry engineering opportunities ahead.
As CEO, my No. 1 priority has been spending time with customers,” Tan said to hundreds of customers and partners during the event keynote in Las Vegas. “Under my leadership, Intel will be an engineering-focused company. … We will listen closely and act on your input. Most importantly, we will create products that solve your problems and drive your success.”
Key takeaways from the keynote include:
A New Approach for a New Era: Tan’s vision centers on customer-centricity and engineering excellence. He pledges that Intel will “listen closely” to help address customer and partner needs. Moreover, he stresses the importance of embracing a more software-led design approach and designing purpose-built silicon to enable key workloads for customers. Embracing AI-driven system design, Intel will accelerate development of full-stack solutions and purpose-built silicon for specific outcomes, such as new architectures and critical workflows. This reflects Tan’s aim to rebuild trust and strengthen ecosystem partnerships.
