Their AI Playground is designed for Arc GPUs, including integrated variants (Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, and Arrow Lake). The AI Playground is much more than just an image generation tool. Intel refers to it as an “AI HUB” because it can also support chat LLMs. Many believe that this is one of the best and easiest-to-use tools for generative AI, but the problem is that it only supports Intel hardware.
