npu inference

The npu inference tag covers discussions about running AI models locally on Windows devices using Neural Processing Units (NPUs). Content focuses on Microsoft's hybrid AI strategy for Windows 11, where cloud-based AI features are broadly available, while faster, private, and offline inference is reserved for Copilot+ PCs with dedicated NPUs. Topics include on-device speed, privacy benefits, and the split between cloud and local AI processing. The tag is relevant for users interested in how NPUs enable local AI inference without relying on cloud services.
