Hello, I was just looking at Intel's GitHub repos since out of curiosity I wanted to find out which llama.cpp backend they currently use in their own Windows-exclusive Intel AI-Playground program. I noticed that they have added experimental Linux support for (who would have guessed) Ubuntu in the June 25 commits. Naturally I went ahead and made an AUR package since I want to support the currently lackluster Linux software stack for my B70.
I'm still in the process of testing it and adding a README for the GitHub page, but I would love if other people with an Intel GPU or even Intel Ultra 2XX CPU could test if the PKGBUILD installs correctly and if the AI-Playground itself works. For me, after a few tries to get it to install correct (with some help from Qwen 3.6 27B since getting Intel software to run on Arch is a pain), the PKGBUILD installs fine and the AI-Playground works for the few things I tested so far.
I have to explicitly say that this is PLANNED to use the official releases from the https://github.com/intel/AI-Playground repo as the upstream URL, but this is not yet the case and it currently uses https://github.com/cantosun99/AI-Playgr … 6-Snapshot as a temporary fork snapshot to provide a stable source URL and checksum. Linux support was merged to `dev` but is not yet part of an official release. Once v3.1.2-beta (or later) ships, the AUR PKGBUILD will be updated to point back at the official release tarball and this fork will be deleted.
I would love to hear your feedback! I'm new to making AUR packages so please be patient if I did something wrong lmao

You did not link to your AUR package so I am assuming you mean https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-ai-playground:
license=(MIT)https://github.com/intel/AI-Playground/ … censes.txt lists numerous other licenses that should be included. All licenses that have a copyright notice also need to be placed under ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/ see PKGBUILD#license.
"https://github.com/cantosun99/AI-Playground-Jun-25-2026-Snapshot/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz"Why not pin to a git commit?

Jup, the package is intel-ai-playground, no idea how I missed that, my bad.
The two changes are very helpful and I just implemented them, the 3rdpartynoticeslicenses.txt is added to ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/ and it is now pinned to commit dc73a34 instead of my fork.
I hope this is correctly implemented, thank you for the input!
