FastFlowLM (FLM) is an NPU-first LLM inference runtime purpose-built and deeply optimized for AMD Ryzen AI NPUs (XDNA2), offering an Ollama-like single-command CLI experience. It supports text, vision, audio (Whisper), embedding, and MoE models with context lengths up to 256k tokens in an ultra-lightweight ~17 MB runtime.

Use cases

  • run llms locally on amd ryzen ai npu
  • ollama alternative for amd npu
  • run whisper speech transcription on npu
  • run vision models like gemma3 on npu
  • serve local llm with openai-compatible api
  • power-efficient on-device llm inference without gpu
  • run moe models like gpt-oss on npu

When to choose

  • you have an AMD Ryzen AI chip with XDNA2 NPU (Strix, Strix Halo, Kraken, Gorgon Point) and want maximum efficiency
  • you want a simple Ollama-like CLI for local LLMs without a GPU
  • power efficiency and long context (up to 256k) matter more than broad hardware support

When to avoid

  • you don't have AMD Ryzen AI NPU hardware
  • you need NVIDIA/Apple Silicon or CPU inference
  • you need fine-grained control over inference engines like llama.cpp or vLLM
