So use your cpu
2 comments

A lot of us have ryzen / nvidia combos... hopefully, soon, though.
Openvino runs fine on AMD last I checked
Maybe it does, however the system requirements page makes it looks like it supports everything BUT AMD.

https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/about-openvino/release-notes-o...

It supports AMD cpus because, if I understand correctly, AMD licenses x86 from Intel, so it shares the same bits needed to run openVINO as Intel’s cpus.

Go look at CPUs benchmarks on Phoronix; AMD Ryzen cpus regularly trounce Intel cpus using openVINO inference.

Or use the underlying open-source models directly; this is just several existing open models packaged by an Intel-specific deployment framework and wrapped as Audacity plugins.
This is a great suggestion and all, but don’t you need a frontend/pipeline to run data through these models?
There are existing frontends for these models that aren't tied to Intel hardware. It may be somewhat less convenient than having them packaged as audacity plugins, but they certainly exist, for people who would want to use them but do not want to be limited to Intel hardware.
