#2Will this have any support for open source libraries like PyTorch or will it be all Intel proprietary software that you need a license for?

#3Any business people here that can explain why companies announce products a year before their release? I can understand getting consumers excited but it also tells competitors what you are doing giving them time to make changes of their own. What's the advantage here?

Intel puts a huge priority on DL framework support before releasing related hardware, going back to at least 2017.
I assume that hasn't changed.

The AI bubble might not last another year. Better get a few more pumps in before it blows.

To keep investors happy and stock from failing? Fairy tales work as well, see Tesla robots.

If you're Intel sized, it's gonna leak. If you announce it first, you get to control the message.
The other thing is enterprise sales is ridiculously slow. If Intel wants corporate customers to buy these things, they've got to announce them ~a year ahead, in order for those customers to buy them next year when they upgrade hardware.

If customers know your product exists before they can buy it then they may wait for it. If they buy the competitor's product today because they don't know your product will exist until the day they can buy it then you lose the sale.
Samples of new products also have to go out to third party developers and reviewers ahead of time so that third party support is ready for launch day and that stuff is going to leak to competitors anyway so there's little point in not making it public.
