At Open Source Summit Europe 2026, the openKylin community outlined a vision for reimagining Linux in the AI era. The core idea is to move beyond traditional resource management toward intent management, where the operating system understands what users want rather than simply allocating CPU, memory, and storage.
To support this shift, openKylin introduced KART, a unified AI runtime designed to run AI workloads across the desktop environment. The community also highlighted core features in openKylin 3.0, including an AI Assistant and other AI-focused desktop capabilities that aim to make the OS more proactive and context-aware.
