Kora is a Linux OS that splits AI models across the CPU, GPU, and NPU tomshardware.com/software/li…
"Cortex can schedule AI workloads across the CPU, GPU, and NPU, as well as other systems on the local network, which could be a novel capability if it works beyond the Qualcomm hardware."
"When asked about model formats, McMaster said, “we predominantly support GGUF,” llama.cpp’s model file format, and that Lemma, the inference engine inside Cortex, “can split model layers across processors as needed.” Lemma is built on llama.cpp, whisper.cpp, stable-diffusion.cpp, and ONNX. McMaster says that which runtime is used depends on the model's requirements, and more runtimes will be added down the line."
"McMaster said that with the model, the X2 Elite reaches “25 TPS decode throughput and 550 TPS prefill throughput,” or tokens per second, running “entirely on the Hexagon NPU with 32K context.” A dense model, rather than a mixture-of-experts, would be far slower. Not given are the RAM configuration or the specific X2 Elite chip."

"It is easy to smile at the bold claims of yet another startup. It is harder to dismiss a team that has already built operating systems and ecosystems around them."

What if you didn’t have to open apps and figure out the steps yourself?
That’s the idea behind HUMAIN OS, a new AI-native Linux OS from HUMAIN and KORA.
Instead of thinking in terms of apps, it works around intent. You tell the OS what you want to accomplish, and it figures out the models, apps, devices and cloud services needed to get it done.
They’ve already demonstrated a 26B-parameter model running locally on Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite.
This feels less like adding AI to an existing OS and more like rethinking what an OS should actually do.
Is this the direction operating systems are heading?

Let the games begin!
Omarchy, @dhh's opinionated Arch Linux desktop, is something you can install today. Kora, which @meetKORA unveiled this week, rebuilds the desktop around local models — and does not ship until 2027.
