If you’re building AI solutions today, you already know the stakes: faster decisions, trusted results and the ability to scale without blowing up your compute budget. What you may not always see is what’s happening under the hood to make that possible.
That’s where strong technology partnerships matter. For more than a decade, SAS and Intel have collaborated behind the scenes to make modern analytics and AI easier to deploy, faster to run, and built for responsible use. The goal isn’t just performance for performance’s sake. We want to give teams confidence that their AI investments will move the needle in the real world.
Here are four ways this shows up in practice, whether you’re training models, generating synthetic data or operationalizing decisions.
1. Faster model development without complexity
SAS® Viya® is optimized to run on Intel’s latest Xeon 5 processors, helping teams develop and deploy models at pace, even with large data volumes. What does that look like in practice? Shorter research cycles, quicker iteration and faster decision making.
2. A flexible dev experience for coders and low-code users
Developers and data scientists don’t all work the same way. SAS Viya Workbench gives teams a cloud-based environment where they can use SAS, Python, or R with familiar tools like VS Code or Jupyter. Paired with Intel hardware acceleration, it creates a smoother path from experimentation to production.
3. Decision intelligence that scales confidently
Using AI at scale responsibly is of the utmost importance. SAS Decision Builder helps teams turn analytics into real-time decisions, running efficiently on Intel-optimized infrastructure. The result: better, faster decisions that help you complete the AI lifecycle.
4. Synthetic data that speeds innovation (and protects privacy)
When real-world data is limited or sensitive, synthetic data can hold the key to innovation. SAS Data Maker will use Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions to help process deep learning workloads in quick, cost-effective way
Why does this matter?
AI without trust isn’t AI you want to use. SAS and Intel are focused on helping businesses build AI that performs, scales and earns confidence from users again and again.
