@jannem Unfortunately not, as there isn't a Vulkan extension that allows to represent ML operations yet. Hopefully in the not-so-distant future though!
Right now the only way to use these drivers is through TensorFlow Lite, but there are plans to expose it to PyTorch and other frameworks.
@kernellogger Yeah, I think you are right. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the first time to happen to me, even...
I think this will have to wait for 6.18.
@gfxstrand Will do!
@gfxstrand Hi! Wanted to ask you if you were able to think about the addition of a tensor data type to NIR.
Finally found time to continue work on the Rockchip NPU. Plan to give this a strong push in the next few months:

Found some time to write a short update on a recent accomplishment:

@ikey Sucks :( Definitely listen to your body and your doctors. Just as an anecdote, early on my career I had carpal tunnel issues and what helped me was a 10-session course of Rolfing. It is a totally unscientific "therapy", but I believe it is what solved the problem for me. Feel free to ask me for details if you feel curious about my experience.
@SecurityWriter This is what I always tell those of my friends that have been caught in conspiracy theories.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
One more step towards mainline support for the NPU in the NXP I.MX 8M Plus
