The Great NPU Failure: Two Years Later, Local AI Is Still All About GPUs

Igor Anatolyevich Voronin Publishes New Analysis on How GPU Power Is Steering the Next Wave of Generative AI – Chicago Headlines

Igor Anatolyevich Voronin, technologist and co-founder of Aimed, has released a new analysis on the growing importance of GPU availability and operational discipline in generative AI. The article outlines how compute efficiency, reliability practices, and cost-aware production design now influence progress more than algorithmic innovation. Voronin provides practical frameworks for inference economics, scaling readiness, and GPU capacity decision…

The great NPU failure: Two years later, local AI is still all about GPUs

For the last few years, the term "AI PC" has basically meant little more than "a lightweight portable laptop with a neural processing unit (NPU)." Today, two years after the glitzy launch of NPUs with Intel's Meteor Lake hardware, these AI PCs still feel like glorified tech demos. But local AI is here! And it's impressive. It just has nothing to do with NPUs. Indeed, if all you have is an NPU, you'd think local AI has failed. The reality is that…

The great NPU failure: Two years later, local AI is still all about GPUs

Local AI tools are more powerful than ever, but most of the magic ain't happening on NPUs—much to Microsoft's disappointment, I'm sure.
