Custom C kernels for Intel NPUs

Develop a toolkit for running custom C kernels on Intel NPUs. Target developers needing low-level control.

Why now

Intel NPUs are gaining traction but lack accessible development tools.

Who for
Hardware developers
Business model
Paid SDK licenses
Effort
A few weeks

Developers working with Intel NPUs need better tools for low-level programming. A toolkit that simplifies writing and running custom C kernels would fill this gap. Hardware startups and performance engineers would pay for optimized solutions. Start with a CLI tool that compiles and runs kernels. Risk: niche audience limits growth.
