AI CPUs & NPUs discussion: future possibilities

For AI CPUs & NPUs discussion: future possibilities, I would separate the problem into setup, output quality and repeatability. cpus and npus fits into that because it can change the result quite a lot depending on the workflow. It is usually easier to troubleshoot when each change is tested on its own.

The point about cpus and npus is interesting. In practice I would keep the first test simple, record what worked, and only add extra complexity if it solves a specific limitation. The original point — "I wanted to start a broader future possibilities thread around AI CPUs & NPUs. A useful angle is security, but it also connects with useful tools. Different tools and workflows ca…" — gives a useful starting point for that comparison.

One thing worth trying with AI CPUs & NPUs discussion: future possibilities is a controlled comparison around cpus and npus. Use the same input for each test and note what changes in the output rather than judging from a single run. That should make it easier to tell whether the change is actually helping.
