Former Intel CEO Brian Krzanich is training a "Christian-oriented large language model": hoping to accelerate the second coming of Jesus.

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger transitions to Gloo, promoting Christian AI and a “human flourishing benchmark,” introducing new topics in AI ethics and industry layout. (Background: Intel's radical proposal: “delisting and splitting” the foundry and design divisions, can Trump and Nvidia reshape America's chip dominance?) (Background info: Nvidia announces $5 billion investment in Intel: collaboration on chip design, Intel surges 30% pre-market.) Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger revealed earlier this year that leaving Intel was not his decision but made by a third party, expressing regret over not being able to complete the ongoing “IDM 2.0” foundry strategy. However, he seems to have found a new direction; according to Fortune, Gelsinger is now the CEO of Gloo, focusing on creating a “Christian-oriented large language model” and hopes to accelerate the “Second Coming” through AI, sparking discussions. From chip giant to Holy Light AI, Gelsinger has always identified as a devout Christian and previously published “Balancing Your Family, Faith & Work,” viewing Silicon Valley as a mission field. After leaving Intel, he chose to join Gloo, which claims to “connect the faith ecosystem.” According to the official website, the platform serves over 140,000 religious and nonprofit leaders, with its core products “Christian-aligned large language model (CALLM)” and “Heaven-aligned large language model (KALLM)” allowing churches to train AI assistants using sermon content to handle pastoral care, discipleship training, and administrative management. Gelsinger, at a seminar held at Colorado Christian University, called AI the “Gutenberg moment” after the printing press and posed the question: “How should we shape this technology to truly become a powerful embodiment and expression of the church?” He hopes to write biblical ethics into the model weights, “so that every inference responds to human dignity.” “Value alignment” and the human flourishing benchmark. To quantify the standard of “good,” Gloo references Harvard's “Human Flourishing Project” concept, launching a human flourishing AI benchmark to evaluate model contributions based on spiritual, emotional, and other indicators. Internal testing shows that while mainstream models excel in translation and summarization, they struggle to provide in-depth faith dialogues. Gloo is therefore hosting an AI hackathon with a total prize pool exceeding $250,000, calling on developers to create “value alignment” tools, emphasizing that funding will focus on projects that can measure human welfare. Unknown variables of industry and social impact. In the short term, Gelsinger's joining gives Gloo strong support in fundraising and brand recognition, also opening up a new battlefield for “value competition” in the AI industry. However, in the long term, once religious-oriented models are widely integrated into public decision-making or commercial services, balancing religious freedom with the needs of a diverse society will inevitably test regulatory frameworks. In a time when AI has not yet established a unified ethical standard, Gloo's experiment offers a window to observe the integration of faith and technology, while also exposing people's divisions on the concept of “neutral technology.” As theological terms like “Second Coming” and “Antichrist” officially enter product roadmaps, Silicon Valley may be heading toward an unprecedented crossroads: it could bring new tools for human welfare or push different beliefs toward sharper tensions. Whether this experiment can verify a new formula for “human flourishing” or merely adds religious vocabulary to a technological utopia remains to be seen over time.
