Uses for AMD NPU

I was wondering, are there any applications available to utilize the NPU on linux?

And not the kind for developers/tinkerers like running LLMs on it, but something more general user focused, e.g. OCR, Noise reduction, camera processing, presence detection, something that is useful in everyday workflow and would benefit from running a lower powered dedicated hardware.

From my findings i only found ppl trying to run LLMs for some reason and one project using it for TTS (which is what i am asking for).

P.S.: really need the tag “linux” be available for general discussions

I know that lemonade is able to run AI models locally on the NPU. Here is a phoronix article on it: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Ryzen-AI-NPUs-Linux-LLMs
