Is Microsoft making NPUs useless? – Windows 11’s Local AI is getting GPU support​

Microsoft is giving Windows 11’s Local Language AI Models official Nvidia GPU support

With Microsoft’s Windows App SDK 2.2 Experimental 9 update, as spotted by Windows Latest , Windows 11’s language model APIs will run on non-Copilot+ PCs with specific GPUs. Right now, this is limited to Nvidia RTX 30 series GPUs (or newer) with at least 6GB of VRAM. In time, this support could come to AMD and Intel GPUs.
