I came here to say this. I haven’t worked with the Elite X but the past gen stuff I’ve used (865 mostly) the accelerators - compute DSP and much smaller NPU - required _very_ specific setup, compilation with a bespoke toolchain, and communication via RPC to name a few.

I would hope the NPU on Elite X is easier to get to considering the whole copilot+ thing, but I bring this up mainly to make the point that I doubt it’s just as easy as “run general purpose model, expect it to magically teleport onto the NPU”.
