I Tried Running LLMs on Intel's NPU. Here's What Actually Happened.

Intel's NPU on Core Ultra laptops fails to offer performance benefits for large language model (LLM) inference compared to the CPU, with significant compilation overhead and strict requirements for static tensor shapes. Developers must use specific export flags and Intel’s LLMPipeline tool to run LLMs on the NPU effectively, though llama.cpp remains the preferred solution for optimal CPU-based local LLM inference.
