I am sending this update at the request of the factory team, who asked to mention the .patch in the changelog file.

- Remove NPU Compile Tool
* openvino-remove-npu-compile-tool.patch
- Update to 2024.3.0
- Summary of major features and improvements  
* More Gen AI coverage and framework integrations to minimize
code changes
+ OpenVINO pre-optimized models are now available in Hugging
Face making it easier for developers to get started with
these models.
* Broader Large Language Model (LLM) support and more model
compression techniques.
+ Significant improvement in LLM performance on Intel
discrete GPUs with the addition of Multi-Head Attention
(MHA) and OneDNN enhancements.
* More portability and performance to run AI at the edge, in the
cloud, or locally.
+ Improved CPU performance when serving LLMs with the
inclusion of vLLM and continuous batching in the OpenVINO
Model Server (OVMS). vLLM is an easy-to-use open-source
library that supports efficient LLM inferencing and model
serving.
- Support Change and Deprecation Notices
* Using deprecated features and components is not advised.
They are available to enable a smooth transition to new
solutions and will be discontinued in the future. To keep
using discontinued features, you will have to revert to the
last LTS OpenVINO version supporting them. For more details,
refer to the OpenVINO Legacy Features and Components page.
* Discontinued in 2024.0:
+ Runtime components:
- Intel® Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (Intel® GNA)..Consider
using the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for low-powered
systems like Intel® Core™ Ultra or 14th generation
and beyond.
- OpenVINO C++/C/Python 1.0 APIs (see 2023.3 API transition
guide for reference).
- All ONNX Frontend legacy API (known as ONNX_IMPORTER_API)
- 'PerfomanceMode.UNDEFINED' property as part of the OpenVINO
Python API
+ Tools:
- Deployment Manager. See installation and deployment guides
for current distribution options.
- Accuracy Checker.
- Post-Training Optimization Tool (POT). Neural Network
Compression Framework (NNCF) should be used instead.
- A Git patch for NNCF integration with huggingface/
transformers. The recommended approach is to use
huggingface/optimum-intel for applying NNCF optimization
on top of models from Hugging Face.
- Support for Apache MXNet, Caffe, and Kaldi model formats.
Conversion to ONNX may be used as a solution.
* Deprecated and to be removed in the future:
+ The OpenVINO™ Development Tools package (pip install
openvino-dev) will be removed from installation options
and distribution channels beginning with OpenVINO 2025.0.
+ Model Optimizer will be discontinued with OpenVINO 2025.0.
Consider using the new conversion methods instead. For
more details, see the model conversion transition guide.
+ OpenVINO property Affinity API will be discontinued with
OpenVINO 2025.0. It will be replaced with CPU binding
configurations (ov::hint::enable_cpu_pinning).
+ OpenVINO Model Server components:
- “auto shape” and “auto batch size” (reshaping a model
in runtime) will be removed in the future. OpenVINO’s
dynamic shape models are recommended instead.
+ A number of notebooks have been deprecated. For an
up-to-date listing of available notebooks, refer to
the OpenVINO™ Notebook index (openvinotoolkit.github.io).
- Add riscv-cpu-plugin subpackage
- Update to 2024.2.0
- More Gen AI coverage and framework integrations to minimize code
changes
* Llama 3 optimizations for CPUs, built-in GPUs, and discrete
GPUs for improved performance and efficient memory usage.
* Support for Phi-3-mini, a family of AI models that leverages
the power of small language models for faster, more accurate
and cost-effective text processing.
* Python Custom Operation is now enabled in OpenVINO making it
easier for Python developers to code their custom operations
instead of using C++ custom operations (also supported).
Python Custom Operation empowers users to implement their own
specialized operations into any model.
* Notebooks expansion to ensure better coverage for new models.
Noteworthy notebooks added: DynamiCrafter, YOLOv10, Chatbot
notebook with Phi-3, and QWEN2.
- Broader Large Language Model (LLM) support and more model
compression techniques.
* GPTQ method for 4-bit weight compression added to NNCF for
more efficient inference and improved performance of
compressed LLMs.
* Significant LLM performance improvements and reduced latency
for both built-in GPUs and discrete GPUs.
* Significant improvement in 2nd token latency and memory
footprint of FP16 weight LLMs on AVX2 (13th Gen Intel® Core™
processors) and AVX512 (3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable
Processors) based CPU platforms, particularly for small
batch sizes.
- More portability and performance to run AI at the edge, in the
cloud, or locally.
* Model Serving Enhancements:
* Preview: OpenVINO Model Server (OVMS) now supports
OpenAI-compatible API along with Continuous Batching and
PagedAttention, enabling significantly higher throughput
for parallel inferencing, especially on Intel® Xeon®
processors, when serving LLMs to many concurrent users.
* OpenVINO backend for Triton Server now supports built-in
GPUs and discrete GPUs, in addition to dynamic
shapes support.
* Integration of TorchServe through torch.compile OpenVINO
backend for easy model deployment, provisioning to
multiple instances, model versioning, and maintenance.
* Preview: addition of the Generate API, a simplified API
for text generation using large language models with only
a few lines of code. The API is available through the newly
launched OpenVINO GenAI package.
* Support for Intel Atom® Processor X Series. For more details,
see System Requirements.
* Preview: Support for Intel® Xeon® 6 processor.

install path.
- Enable python module and split it out into a python subpackage
(for now default python3 only).

building these requires downloading npm stuff from the network.
- Build with system pybind11.

recommended adding this.
- Numerous specfile cleanups:
* Drop redundant `mv` commands and use `install` where
appropriate.

* Rename Source tarball to %{name}-%{version}.EXT pattern.
* Use ldconfig_scriptlet macro for post(un).
- Add openvino-onnx-ml-defines.patch -- Define ONNX_ML at compile
time when using system onnx to allow using 'onnx-ml.pb.h'
instead of 'onnx.pb.h', the latter not being shipped with
openSUSE's onnx-devel package (gh#onnx/onnx#3074).
- Add openvino-fix-install-paths.patch: Change hard-coded install
paths in upstream cmake macro to standard Linux dirs.
