Proponents of generative AI would often have you believe that such systems are all about making serious improvements to your productivity and work. But for owners of Arc graphics cards, Intel believes you should just have fun and mess around with it. To that end, it has released a beta version of AI Playground, a free and open-source application that lets you use your Alchemist GPU to generate and edit AI images and talk nonsense with a chatbot.
Intel first teased AI Playground at Computex, earlier this year, and now a public beta version of the app is available to download for Windows. You'll need an Arc graphics card with 8 GB or more of VRAM—it won't run on any other GPU, unfortunately.
