Three Days. Three Virtual Events. One Week of Learning with OCP. Join the Open Compute Project Community this week for three free virtual events exploring the technologies, skills and infrastructure shaping the AI era. 📅 Tuesday, August 25 | 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET OCP AI Next Generation: Open Data Center for AI Virtual Workshop Explore the Datacenter: Next-Generation ML Infrastructure Design Principles specification and the technical challenges of building AI/ML infrastructure at scale, from power and cooling to system architecture. 📅 Wednesday, August 26 | 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET Women in OCP Empower Hour: Thriving in the Era of AI Session 3: Vibe Coding & Building Intelligent Agents Experts from Meta and Microsoft will explore what it takes to design, build and deploy reliable AI agents, including proven design patterns, real-world lessons and common pitfalls. The session concludes with a live demonstration of "vibe coding" an AI Agent, showing how an idea can quickly become a working intelligent solution. 📅 Thursday, August 27 | 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET OCP Educational Webinar: Open Standards, Infinite Possibilities: The Future of Custom Engineering for Rack & Power Solutions Join Legrand and Semi Analysis for a discussion on balancing OCP's open standards with the increasingly specialized power, thermal and spatial requirements of AI, edge and cloud infrastructure. 💻 All three events are virtual and free to attend. 👉 Learn more and register: #OpenCompute# #OCP# #AI# #ArtificialIntelligence# #DataCenters# #AgenticAI# #OpenInfrastructure# #WOCP#

The Open Compute Project Foundation thrives because of the volunteers who generously share their knowledge, leadership, and commitment to advancing open infrastructure innovation throughout the global technology community. Their time and expertise are essential to driving OCP’s mission forward. Today, we are proud to recognize one of these outstanding contributors. Raj Kapoor - AMD What is your role in the OCP Community? Raj is a key volunteer leader within the OCP Open Platform Firmware Project and serves as Project Lead. He has been a strong advocate for open firmware development and has helped drive meaningful contributions and engagement from across the ecosystem, including leadership and participation from AMD. How long have you been involved with OCP? Raj began engaging with industry partners on open firmware initiatives around 2019 and became actively involved with OCP shortly thereafter through the OCP OSF project (Open System Firmware), now Open Platform Firmware (OPF) Project. Over the years, Raj has had the privilege of helping lead several key community initiatives, including openSFI (Open Silicon Firmware Interface) and UPCI (Unified Platform Configuration Interface). These efforts brought together silicon providers, system manufacturers, firmware vendors and hyperscalers to address some of the industry’s most pressing challenges around cost, TTM (time to market), scalability, interoperability, and long-sustainability of platform firmware and silicon enablement. Why do you volunteer your time to OCP? Raj believes open collaboration accelerates innovation. Through OCP, he helps create an environment where companies can work together on common challenges and build solutions that benefit the broader industry. What impact has OCP had on you professionally? OCP has provided Raj the opportunity to collaborate with technology leaders across the ecosystem, helping align firmware and platform initiatives while contributing to industry-wide standards and best practices. What are you most excited about right now? Raj is particularly excited about the increasing importance of open, secure, and scalable platform firmware as AI, cloud, and next-generation infrastructure continue to evolve. Something people may not know about you? Raj is widely respected for his ability to bring together diverse technical stakeholders and build consensus around complex engineering challenges. Volunteer Leadership Quote: “Open collaboration creates stronger technologies and a stronger industry.”

Our thesis is simple: Open infrastructure creates better competition. Anyone can launch. Anyone can compete. Win or lose, anyone can build better. Flap doesn’t take sides. We build tools to maximize every builder’s chances and support those with real traction and strong communities.

The teams building Ethereum's open infrastructure will be in the room at Devcon 8, and they want to meet you. @Kleros_io, @gnosis_ , @base, @ensdomains and more Devcon 8 Supporters are coming to Mumbai. Bring your questions and your ideas!

Thank you to our OCP Volunteer Leaders. The Open Compute Project Foundation is powered by dedicated volunteers who contribute their expertise, leadership, and passion to advance open infrastructure innovation across the global technology ecosystem. Their contributions help make OCP’s mission possible. John Leung - Intel What is your role in the OCP Community? John is a Principal Engineer at Intel and a longtime contributor within the OCP Community. Over the past decade, he has helped bridge standards development with real-world customer needs, bringing practical perspectives into industry-wide collaboration efforts. How long have you been involved with OCP? John has been a member of the OCP Steering Committee for 10 years, and has led several workstreams. Why do you volunteer your time to OCP? John values OCP’s close connection to end users and customers. He believes OCP provides a unique opportunity to understand end user problems and how technologies and standards are actually deployed, ensuring innovation remains practical and impactful. What impact has OCP had on you professionally? OCP has provided visibility across technologies far beyond his core specialty, including liquid cooling, AI infrastructure, and emerging data center innovations. Just as importantly, it has connected him with an incredible network of industry peers. What are you most excited about right now? John is looking forward to his eight-week sabbatical, his fourth during his career, and the opportunity to reflect, learn, and explore. Something people may not know about you? John has traced his family genealogy back to approximately 700 AD. Volunteer Leadership Quote: “OCP keeps us focused on building technologies that solve real customer problems.”

Today’s AI takeoff stands on decades of open research and open infrastructure. The Transformer. Backpropagation. ImageNet. PyTorch. TensorFlow. JAX. CUDA. Linux. Books, the open Internet, and millions of open-source codebases on GitHub that became training data. Without all these, today’s AI labs and companies simply would not exist.

Our GTC takeaway is clear: NVIDIA is betting hard on open. - NemoClaw turns OpenClaw into enterprise infrastructure. - Nemotron 4 will be open-sourced. - Nemotron Coalition puts eight labs on a shared open frontier model. This is what we've been building toward. Open infrastructure for open intelligence is the direction the biggest AI companies are taking.
