    I use it heavily at work nowadays. It would be nice to run it locally.

        But you can run more complex networks faster. Which is what I want.

            It’s hardware specifically designed for running AI tasks. Like neural networks.

            An NPU, or Neural Processing Unit, is a dedicated processor or processing unit on a larger SoC designed specifically for accelerating neural network operations and AI tasks. Unlike general-purpose CPUs and GPUs, NPUs are optimized for a data-driven parallel computing, making them highly efficient at processing massive multimedia data like videos and images and processing data for neural networks

        Exactly what we are talking about.

            Not sure what you mean? The hardware runs the software tasks more efficiently.

              The discussion is whether people should/would pay extra for hardware designed around ai vs just getting better hardware

        I’m a programmer so when learning a new framework or library I use it as an interactive docs that allows follow up questions.

        I also use it to generate things like regex and SQL queries.

        It’s also really good at refactoring code and other repetitive tasks like that

          it does seem like a good translator for the less human readable stuff like regex and such. I’ve dabbled with it a bit but I’m a technical artist and haven’t found much use for it in the things I do.
