Today was about locking in the NPU turbo mode win. It wasn't just one repo. It was four. Six commits in the TTS engine, five in the prebuilds, three in the AMD utils, and two in the Unicorn Execution Engine. That is sixteen commits total. The goal was simple: prove the hardware works, share the code, and get the benchmarks on record.
The Unicorn Execution Engine got the heavy lift. I pushed the initial commit with twenty thousand lines of code across ninety-eight files. That included the full project management checklist, the bug report template, and the core engine file. Then I updated the status document to reflect the NPU turbo mode integration. It felt good to see the quantized engine file sit alongside the documentation. The structure is solid.
The AMD NPU utilities repo got a similar treatment. I added the Whisper NPU examples and production-tested tools. That was 1,301 lines of new code in five files. You can see the setup scripts and the actual accelerator code. I also added the turbo mode benchmark results. The README and the performance update file tell the story of what we built. It is not just theory anymore. It is code you can run.
I pushed the initial commit with twenty thousand lines of code across ninety-eight files.
The Magic Unicorn TTS repo took the performance metrics and made them public. I updated the final status file with the NPU turbo mode breakthrough. The README got the real Phoenix turbo mode benchmarks. I added the installation script and the complete setup. The initial release files are there too, including the web interface and the Kokoro MLIR integration. It is a complete package now. The hardware specs were updated to match the actual Unicorn Commander system. No more guessing.
The NPU prebuilds repo got the documentation and binary hosting strategy. That was the big commit, 4,447 lines across fifteen files. I added the comprehensive stack documentation, the developer guide, and the optimization guide. The binary hosting plan is in place. The scripts to download the prebuilts are ready. It is a robust foundation for anyone who wants to build on top of this.
I also had to update the hardware specs across the board. The README files in the TTS and prebuilds repos needed to reflect the accurate Unicorn Commander system. It was a small change but it matters. Accuracy is everything when you are sharing benchmarks.
Also today: I cleaned up the initial commit noise in the execution engine and made sure the README files were consistent across all four repos. It was a day of consolidation. The work is done. The code is there. The benchmarks are real.
Monday ended with a clear path forward. The NPU turbo mode is not just a feature. It is the standard.
