As a regular user of a bunch of specialized micromodels, I'll tell you this: you won't be happy with such a model (and its JEV counterparts) running permanently in the background on your PC's CPU. You need to offload their processing to the NPU. There are many pitfalls along the way, but the result is worth it.

NPU performance will be twice as high, while power consumption will be four times lower. No additional fan noise (if you know what I mean).

I'll wait another month until the first phase of the =battle royale= among models of this kind wraps up, put together a solution for the NPU/iGPU, and post it on HF.
