OpenVINO is Intel's open-source toolkit for optimizing and running AI inference on CPUs, integrated GPUs, NPUs, and discrete Arc / Flex GPUs. Its Model Optimizer converts PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, or PaddlePaddle to the OpenVINO IR format; the Runtime then schedules ops across whichever silicon the box has. For FI Tech, OpenVINO is the path to running 4-camera analytics on a stock Intel NUC with no extra accelerator — perfect for small-site PoCs and retail deployments where adding a Hailo or Jetson is overkill. INT8 quantization typically delivers 3-4× speedup vs. FP32 with sub-1% accuracy loss.
