Intel NPU / OpenVINO support

Post by mareksagan »

Hi, I wonder if you could add OpenVINO support to be able to use it with Intel NPU? I mean a laptop CPU like this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en ... tions.html

Thanks!

NPUs can't generally be used to train. The Intel one included with that CPU is the same issue. Basically, Faceswap itself needs to train a model and while that NPU could help with tasks like extracting, those are a tiny part of what FaceSwap does, so we wont be supporting NPUs as the gains would be minimal and you'd still need a GPU to train.
