On: Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra

Do current models run on the NPU or GPU? Wondering if Apple will have something like a TPU.

Apple has a dedicated "neural engine" which is designed as an inference NPU. Where as Google's TPU has a dual focus, both inference and training, which is a more complex design.

That TPU training part I get, but from what I have seen the NPU is rarely used for inference by LLMs. They still use the GPU, no?
