- NCU partners with Intel, Asus, and Phison to launch a high-performance AI PC lab for education and research.
- Lab supports generative AI, LLMs, machine learning, and hosts workshops to train future AI professionals.
- NCU strengthens ties with NYU, CERN, TSMC, Foxconn, and MediaTek for advanced AI and tech projects.
National Central University (NCU) has partnered with Intel and Asus to set up a new AI PC lab on its campus. The facility is designed to give students access to a user-friendly, high-performance environment for artificial intelligence learning and development.
According to the university, the lab will support work in areas such as generative AI, large language models, machine learning, and speech recognition. It will also host workshops to train students in deep learning, autonomous AI-powered systems, and other advanced technologies.
The lab features Asus AI PCs powered by the latest Intel processors. These systems come with strong expandability, advanced thermal design, and Intel’s OpenVINO toolkit an open-source platform that helps optimize deep-learning models. This will allow developers and students to build AI solutions more effectively.
