Just in case anyone isn't aware. NPUs are low power, slow, and meant for small models.

I wonder what was the imagined use case? TBH I was seriously thinking about buying a framework desktop but the NPU put me off.. I don't get why I should have to pay money for a bunch of silicon that doesn't do anything. And now that there's some software support... it still doesn't do anything? Why does it even exist at all then?
