It was just over two months ago that Colorado AI News profiled Kamiwaza as a Colorado AI Startup to Watch. That's not a whole lot of time, but the company, driven by its "GenAI orchestration engine," has been on a rocket ride ever since. In fact, as CEO Luke Norris joked, it feels like it's been a year since two months ago. Not that he's complaining.
As a demonstration of "how far, how fast," Kamiwaza CEO Luke Norris will be sharing the main stage in Las Vegas this Tuesday with Intel CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus at Intel Vision 2025.
The session will be broadcast live on April 1st, 2025, 10:00 am - 11:15 am MT. Viewers can tune in via the official Intel YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onu69Lh5vFk) or the Intel Newsroom (https://newsroom.intel.com/).
Norris indicated that he couldn't say much about all the specifics of his presentation beforehand. That said, it's a good bet that he will cover how Kamiwaza's AI orchestration engine, powered by Intel Gaudi AI accelerators, is transforming how organizations extract value from their most complex and sensitive data assets.
Highlights of his presentation are certain to include how Kamiwaza's technology addresses several critical enterprise data challenges, including legacy data transformation, performance at scale, democratized access, automated intelligence, and last - but certainly not least - secure processing.
To that last point, Norris declared that organizations "no longer need to choose between powerful AI capabilities and data sovereignty. Now, they can process massive datasets at unprecedented speeds while keeping their most sensitive information completely secure and compliant." Or, in other words, "Inference your data where it lives." Which happens to be a capability that more than a few large corporations and other organizations are very interested in.
Highlighting how much things have changed, Norris reminisced about how it was just a year ago that he gave a talk to a small, but engaged group of AI enthusiasts at the Leadville, Colorado, public library. (For those not acquainted with Leadville, it's a gem of an old mountain town just 25 miles from Aspen as the crow flies, but about 130 miles if you're traveling by road. At 10,152 feet, it's located at the highest elevation of any incorporated city in North America.)
