What kind of consumer-facing software runs on that NPU?

I know Video editing software uses it for things like motion tracking.
It’s all stuff your GPU can do, but the NPU can do it for like 1/10th to 1/100th the power.

For what it’s worth an NPU is why your phone could tell you that photo is of a cat years before LLMs were the hot new thing. They were originally marketed as accelerators for machine learning applications before everybody started calling that AI.

New versions of Sony Vegas use the NPU to enhance AI features, nothing that humans cannot do before.
