VLIW is everywhere in client side ML accelerator space for some reason.

Another comment mentioned Snapdragon's Hexagon, which they try to rebrand as NPU with some Mat-mul circuits.

Intel Core's NPU, which is based on Movidius VPU, also has a VLIW based core in it. It is called SHAVE.

And AMD's XDNA NPU, which is based on Xilinx Alveo, also has a VLIW based core they call AI-Engine.
