GoKawiilKora Systems unveils Kora, an AI-centric Linux desktop OS due on PCs in 2027
Kora Systems Inc., led by Cyanogen co-founder Kirt McMaster, revealed Kora, a Linux desktop operating system built around AI models and agents. The OS uses a proprietary 'Cortex' inference engine to distribute AI workloads across a device's CPU, GPU, and NPU, and across other machines on the same network, running local models by default and cloud models when needed. It currently supports Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite NPU, with Intel and AMD support still in development, and is expected to ship on PCs in 2027.
