96% VerifiedIntel Releases OpenVINO Toolkit 2024.2 with GenAI NPU Acceleration and Llama 3 Support
Intel released OpenVINO Toolkit 2024.2, introducing direct Intel NPU execution pipelines for generative AI workloads alongside support for Meta Llama 3, Microsoft Phi-3, and Google Gemma models. The update adds micro-scaling (MX) data format optimizations and enhances PyTorch model export capabilities.
Before: OpenVINO 2024.1 required manual model transformation workarounds for Llama 3 and lacked native runtime support for micro-scaling (MX) fp4, fp6, and fp8 data formats on integrated NPUs.
After: OpenVINO 2024.2 provides native runtime execution for Meta Llama 3 and Microsoft Phi-3, direct GenAI pipeline offloading to Intel NPUs, and support for MX data formats.
