Is there a plan to support NPU?

[miracle777]

Snapdragon X Elite and Core Ultra have NPUs built-in. However, it seems that the capabilities of the NPU can only be utilized with software that supports it. Does LM Studio have any plans to support these NPUs?

With the new Copilot+PC standard computers, the GPU is integrated into the CPU, and the VRAM shares memory with the main RAM. As a result, the graphics capability is a concern compared to laptops with NVIDIA GPUs. Therefore, even though these computers are touted as AI-ready, some use NPUs instead of GPUs. It would be very helpful if LM Studio could also support NPUs.
