This move deserves big credit for them. These NPUs are otherwise blackboxes you can access only through some high level APIs like DirectML on windows or NNAPI on Android. Although Qualcomm's NPU (Hexagon) is relatively open as their compiler is also based on LLVM and their arch is upstreamed to a certain degree, it is inherently limited as it demands code signing. Other CPU vendors are worse.
