## Summary

openKylin, an open‑source Linux community from China, showcased its new KART unified AI runtime and a system‑level agent execution environment during the Open Source Summit Europe 2026 in Prague. Executive Director Min Liu delivered the keynote, while Jianfeng Li presented a lightning talk on an AI‑ready Linux desktop for RISC‑V.

The company announced openKylin 3.0, which adds an AI Assistant, Global Intelligent Search and Intelligent Space to the desktop. RISC‑V kernel optimizations are claimed to deliver a 2–5× speedup in FP32 inference with ONNX Runtime, and the stack supports vLLM on SpacemiT K3. Distribution options include .deb, Python wheels, Conda and Docker.

The community plans to contribute its RVV kernel work upstream and continue building a runtime foundation, security controls and an open ecosystem for AI hardware, models and applications.

## Key points

- openKylin introduces KART unified AI runtime and agent execution environment
- RISC‑V kernel optimizations claim 2–5× speedup in FP32 inference with ONNX Runtime
- openKylin 3.0 reports 27 million deployments and 2.9 million active users

## Why it matters

The announcement shows how operating systems can evolve to support AI workloads natively, potentially lowering barriers for developers and users to run large models on commodity hardware.
