TL;DR: NPUs are sold as inference-only accelerators. VIDRAFT built VKORE, a software acceleration layer that leaves the chip untouched and (1) raises single-user inference 3.8x and server throughput 4.1x on the same NPU server, and (2) runs real transformer LoRA training on that NPU at 0.9999 numer…
