Cephable Release Notes

6/26/2025

🚀 New Feature: Intelligent Hardware Acceleration

We’ve added smarter backend selection for local model inference to better utilize available hardware and deliver optimal performance:

✅ OpenVINO Support

• Intel NPU Devices (e.g. Windows on Lunar Lake)
  Now leverage OpenVINO NPU acceleration for faster, more efficient local model execution.
• Intel GPU or CPU (non-NPU)
  Will automatically fall back to ONNX runtime with CPU execution for broad compatibility and stable performance.

🧠 AMD & Mac Devices

• AMD Systems (non-OpenVINO)
  Run using ONNX CPU fallback for universal support.
• macOS Devices
  Currently default to ONNX CPU inference.
