Very nice. Glad Framework finally updated the CPU/APU on this because I really want the Ryzen AI APU in a 16 inch form factor (I don't care about dedicated GPUs though).

My understanding was that there's not really anything you can do with the NPU yet?

Copilot supports it. And on windows you can try AMD tools like https://github.com/lemonade-sdk/lemonade to run arbitrary LLMs. AMD is actively developing support for the NPU.

Drivers for it are in Linux 6.14.

That doesn't matter much for most people though. The actual benefit is that the integrated GPU is very beefy.
