Enable Textual Inversion with Stable Diffusion Pipeline via Optimum-Intel
Introduction
Stable Diffusion (SD) is a state-of-the-art latent text-to-image diffusion model that generates photorealistic images from text. Recently, many fine-tuning technologies proposed to create custom Stable Diffusion pipelines for personalized image generation, such as Textual Inversion, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). We’ve already published a blog for enabling LoRA with Stable Diffusion + ControlNet pipeline.
In this blog, we will focus on enabling pre-trained textual inversion with Stable Diffusion via Optimum-Intel. The feature is available in the latest Optimum-Intel, and documentation is available here.
Textual Inversion is a technique for capturing novel concepts from a small number of example images in a way that can later be used to control text-to-image pipelines. It does so by learning new “words” in the embedding space of the pipeline’s text encoder.

As Figure 1 shows, you can teach new concepts to a model such as Stable Diffusion for personalized image generation using just 3-5 images.
Hugging Face Diffusers and Stable Diffusion Web UI provides useful tools and guides to train and save custom textual inversion embeddings. The pre-trained textual inversion embeddings are widely available in sd-concepts-library and civitai, which can be loaded for inference with the StableDiffusionPipeline using Pytorch as the runtime backend.
Here is an example to load pre-trained textual inversion embedding sd-concepts-library/cat-toy to inference with Pytorch backend.
Optimum-Intel provides the interface between the Hugging Face Transformers and Diffusers libraries to leverage OpenVINOTM runtime to accelerate end-to-end pipelines on Intel architectures.

As Figure 2 shows that two approaches are available to enable textual inversion with Stable Diffusion via Optimum-Intel.
Although approach 1 seems quite straightforward and does not need any code modification in Optimum-Intel, the method requires the re-export ONNX model and then model conversion to the OpenVINOTM IR model whenever the SD baseline model is merged with anew textual inversion.
Instead, we propose approach 2 to support OVStableDiffusionPipelineBase to load pre-trained textual inversion embeddings in runtime to save disk storage while keeping flexibility.
- Save disk storage: We only need to save an SD baseline model converted to OpenVINOTM IR (e.g.: SD-1.5 ~5GB) and multiple textual embeddings (~10KB-100KB), instead of multiple SD OpenVINOTM IR with textual inversion embeddings merged (~n *5GB), since disk storage is limited, especially for edge/client use case.
- Flexibility: We can load (multiple) pre-trained textual inversion embeddings in the SD baseline model in runtime quickly, which supports the combination of embeddings and avoid messing up the baseline model.
How to enable textual inversion in runtime?
We implemented OVTextualInversionLoaderMixinbased on diffusers.loaders.TextualInversionLoaderMixin with the following features:
- Load and parse textual embeddings saved as*.bin, *.pt, *.safetensors as a list of Tensors.
- Update tokenizer for new “words” using new token id and expand vocabulary size.
- Update text encoder embeddings via InsertTextEmbedding class based on OpenVINOTM ngraph transformation.
For the implementation details of OVTextualInversionLoaderMixin, please refer to here.
Here is the sample code for InsertTextEmbedding class:
InsertTextEmbeddingclass utilizes OpenVINOTM ngraph MatcherPass function to insert subgraph into the model. Please note, the MacherPass function can only filter layers by type, so we run two phases of filtering to find the layer that matched with the pre-defined key in the model:
- Filter all Constant layers to trigger the callback function.
- Filter layer name with pre-defined key “TEXTUAL_INVERSION_EMBEDDING_KEY” in the callback function
If the root name matched the pre-defined key, we will loop all parsed textual inversion embedding and token id pair and create a subgraph (Constant + Unsqueeze + Concat) by OpenVINOTM operation sets to insert into the text encoder model. In the end, we update the root output node with the last node in the subgraph.

Figure 3 demonstrates the workflow of InsertTextEmbedding OpenVINOTM ngraph transformation. The left part shows the subgraph in SD 1.5 baseline text encoder model, where text embedding has a Constant node with shape [49408, 768], the 1st dimension is consistent with the original tokenizer (vocab size 49408), and the second dimension is feature length of each text embedding.
When we load (multiple) textual inversion, all textual inversion embeddings will be parsed as a list of tensors with shape[768], and each textual inversion constant will be unsqueezed and concatenated with original text embeddings. The right part is the result of applying InsertTextEmbedding ngraph transformation on the original text encoder, the green rectangle represents merged textual inversion subgraph.

As Figure 4 shows, In the first phase, the original text embedding (marked as blue rectangle) is saved in Const node “text_model.embeddings.token_embedding.weight” with shape [49408,768], after InsertTextEmbedding ngraph transformation, new subgraph (marked as red rectangle) will be created in 2nd phase. In the 3rd phase, during model compilation, the new subgraph will be const folding into a single const node (marked as green rectangle) with a new shape [49409,768] by OpenVINOTM ConstantFolding transformation.

An Image is Worth One Word: Personalizing Text-to-Image Generation using Textual Inversion
Enable LoRA weights with Stable Diffusion Controlnet Pipeline
Authors: Zhen Zhao(Fiona), Kunda Xu
Low-Rank Adaptation(LoRA) is a novel technique introduced to deal with the problem of fine-tuning Diffusers and Large Language Models (LLMs). In the case of Stable Diffusion fine-tuning, LoRA can be applied to the cross-attention layers for the image representations with the latent described. You can refer HuggingFace diffusers to understand the basic concept and method for model fine-tuning: https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/training/lora
In this blog, we aimed to introduce the method building up the pipeline for Stable Diffusion + ControlNet with OpenVINO™ optimization, and enable LoRA weights for Unet model of Stable Diffusion to generate images with different styles. The demo source code is based on: https://github.com/FionaZZ92/OpenVINO_sample/tree/master/SD_controlnet
Stable Diffusion ControlNet Pipeline
Step 1: Environment preparation
First, please follow below method to prepare your development environment, you can choose download model from HuggingFace for better runtime experience. In this case, we choose controlNet for canny image task.
* Please note, the diffusers start to use `torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention` if your installed torch version is >= 2.0, and the ONNX does not support op conversion for “Aten:: scaled_dot_product_attention”. To avoid the error during the model conversion by “torch.onnx.export”, please make sure you are using torch==1.13.1.
Step 2: Model Conversion
The demo provides two programs, to convert model to OpenVINO™ IR, you should use “get_model.py”. Please check the options of this script by:
In this case, let us choose multiple batch size to generate multiple images. The common application of vison generation has two concepts of batch:
- `batch_size`: Specify the length of input prompt or negative prompt. This method is used for generating N images with N prompts.
- `num_images_per_prompt`: Specify the number of images that each prompt generates. This method is used to generate M images with 1 prompts.
Thus, for common user application, you can well use these two attributes in diffusers to generate N*M images by N prompts with increased random seed values. For example, if your basic seed is 42, to generate N(2)*M(2) images, the actual generation is like below:
- N=1, M=1: prompt_list[0], seed=42
- N=1, M=2: prompt_list[0], seed=43
- N=2, M=1: prompt_list[1], seed=42
- N=2, M=2: prompt_list[1], seed=43
In this case, let’s use N=2, M=1 as a quick example for demonstration, thus the use`--batch 2`. This script will generate static shape model by default. If you are using different value of N and M, please specify `--dynamic`.
Please check your current path, make sure you already generated below models currently. Other ONNX files can be deleted for saving space.
- controlnet-canny.<xml|bin>
- text_encoder.<xml|bin>
- unet_controlnet.<xml|bin>
- vae_decoder.<xml|bin>
* If your local path already exists ONNX or IR model, the script will jump tore-generate ONNX/IR. If you updated the pytorch model or want to generate model with different shape, please remember to delete existed ONNX and IR models.
Step 3: Runtime pipeline test
The provided demo program `run_pipe.py` is manually build-up the pipeline for StableDiffusionControlNet which refers to the original source of `diffusers.StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline`
The difference is we simplify the pipeline with 4 models’ inference by OpenVINO™ runtime API which can make sure the model inference can be accelerated on Intel® CPU and GPU platform.
The default iteration is 20, image shape is 512*512, seed is 42, and the input image and prompt is for “Girl with Pearl Earring”. You can adjust or custom your own pipeline attributes for testing.
In the case with batch_size=2, the generated image is like below:

Enable LoRA weights for Stable Diffusion
Normal LoRA weights has two types, one is ` pytorch_lora_weights.bin`,the other is using safetensors. In this case, we introduce both methods for these two LoRA weights.
The main idea for LoRA weights enabling, is to append weights onto the original Unet model of Stable Diffusion, then export IR model of Unet which remains LoRA weights.
There are various LoRA models on https://civitai.com/tag/lora , we choose some public models on HuggingFace as an example, you can consider toreplace with your owns.
Step 4-1: Enable LoRA by pytorch_lora_weights.bin
This step introduces the method to add lora weights to Unet model of Stable Diffusion by `pipe.unet.load_attn_procs(...)` function. By using this way, the LoRA weights will be loaded into the attention layers of Unet model of Stable Diffusion.
* Remember to delete exist Unet model to generate the new IR with LoRA weights.
Then, run pipeline inference program to check results.
The LoRA weights appended Stable Diffusion model with controlNet pipeline can generate image like below:

Step 4-2: Enable LoRA by safetensors typed weights
This step introduces the method to add LoRA weights to Stable diffusion Unet model by `diffusers/scripts/convert_lora_safetensor_to_diffusers.py`. Diffusers provide the script to generate new Stable Diffusion model by enabling safetensors typed LoRA model. By this method, you will need to replace the weight path to new generated Stable Diffusion model with LoRA. You can adjust value of `alpha` option to change the merging ratio in `W = W0 + alpha * deltaW` for attention layers.
Then, run pipeline inference program to check results.
The LoRA weights appended SD model with controlnet pipeline can generate image like below:

Step 4-3: Enable runtime LoRA merging by MatcherPass
This step introduces the method to add lora weights in runtime before Unet or text_encoder model compiling. It will be helpful to client application usage with multiple different LoRA weights to change the image style by reusing the same Unet/text_encoder structure.
This method is to extract lora weights in safetensors file and find the corresponding weights in Unet model and insert lora weights bias. The common method to add lora weights is like:
W = W0 + W_bias(alpha * torch.mm(lora_up, lora_down))
I intend to insert Add operation for Unet's attentions' weights by OpenVINO™ `opset10.add(W0,W_bias)`. The original attention weights in Unet model is loaded by `Const` op, the common processing path is `Const->Convert->Matmul->...`, if we add the lora weights, we should insert the calculated lora weight bias as `Const->Convert->Add->Matmul->...`. In this function, we adopt `openvino.runtime.passes.MatcherPass` to insert `opset10.add()` with call_back() function iteratively.

Your own transformation operations will insert opset.Add() firstly, then during the model compiling with device. The graph will do constant folding to combine the Add operation with following MatMul operation to optimize the model runtime inference. Thus, this is an effective method to merge LoRA weights onto original model.
You can check with the implementation source code, and find out the definition of the MatcherPass function called `InsertLoRA(MatcherPass)`:
The `InsertLoRA(MatcherPass)` function will be registered by `manager.register_pass(InsertLoRA(lora_dict_list))`, and invoked by `manager.run_passes(ov_unet)`. After this runtime MatcherPass operation, the graph compile with device plugin and ready for inference.
Run pipeline inference program to check the results. The result is same as Step 4-2.
The LoRA weights appended Stable Diffusion model with controlNet pipeline can generate image like below:

Step 4-4: Enable multiple LoRA weights
There are many different methods to add multiple LoRA weights. I list two methods here. Assume you have two LoRA weigths, LoRA A and LoRA B. You can simply follow the Step 4-3 to loop the MatcherPass function to insert between original Unet Convert layer and Add layer of LoRA A. It's easy to implement. However, it is not good at performance.

Please consider about the Logic of MatcherPass function. This fucntion required to filter out all layer with the Convert type, then through the condition judgement if each Convert layer connected by weights Constant has been fine-tuned and updated in LoRA weights file. The main costs of LoRA enabling is costed by InsertLoRA() function, thus the main idea is to just invoke InsertLoRA() function once, but append multiple LoRA files' weights.

By above method to add multiple LoRA, the cost of appending 2 or more LoRA weights almost same as adding 1 LoRA weigths.
Now, let's change the Stable Diffusion with dreamlike-anime-1.0 to generate image with styles of animation. I pick two LoRA weights for SD 1.5 from https://civitai.com/tag/lora.
- soulcard: https://civitai.com/models/67927?modelVersionId=72591
- epi_noiseoffset: https://civitai.com/models/13941/epinoiseoffset
You probably need to do prompt engineering work to generate a useful prompt like below:
- prompt: "1girl, cute, beautiful face, portrait, cloudy mountain, outdoors, trees, rock, river, (soul card:1.2), highly intricate details, realistic light, trending on cgsociety,neon details, ultra realistic details, global illumination, shadows, octane render, 8k, ultra sharp"
- Negative prompt: "3d, cartoon, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error"
- Seed: 0
- num_steps: 30
- canny low_threshold: 100
You can get a wonderful image which generate an animated girl with soulcard typical border like below:

Enable chatGLM by creating OpenVINO™ stateful model and runtime pipeline
Authors: Zhen Zhao(Fiona), Cheng Luo, Tingqian Li, Wenyi Zou
Introduction
Since the Large Language Models (LLMs) become the hot topic, a lot Chinese language models have been developed and actively deployed in optimization platforms. chatGLM is one of the popular Chinese LLMs which are widely been evaluated. However, ChatGLM model is not yet a native model in Transformers, which means there remains support gap in official optimum. In this blog, we provide a quick workaround to re-construct the model structure by OpenVINO™ opset contains custom optimized nodes for chatGLM specifically and these nodes has been highly optimized by AMX intrinsic and MHA fusion.
*Please note, this blog only introduces a workaround of optimization method by creating OpenVINO™ stateful model for chatGLM. This workaround has limitation of platform, which requires to use Intel® 4th Xeon Sapphire Rapids with AMX optimization. We do not promise the maintenance of this workaround.
Source link: https://github.com/luo-cheng2021/openvino/tree/luocheng/chatglm_custom/tools/gpt
To support more LLMs, including llama, chatglm2, gpt-neox/dolly, gpt-j and falcon. You can refer this link which not limited on SPR platform, also can compute from Core to Xeon:
Source link: https://github.com/luo-cheng2021/ov.cpu.llm.experimental
ChatGLM model brief
If we check with original model source of chatGLM, we can find that the ChatGLM is not compatible with Optimum ModelForCasualML, it defines the new class ChatGLMForConditionalGeneration. This model has 3 main modules (embedding, GLMBlock layers and lm_logits) during the pipeline loop, the structure is like below:

As you can see, the whole pipeline actually require model with two different graphs, the first-time inference with input prompt tokens do not require KV cache as inputs for GLMBlock layers. Since the second iteration, the previous results of QKV Attention should become the inputs of current round model inference. Along with the length of generated token increased, there will remain a lot of large sized memory copies between model inputs and outputs during pipeline inference. We can use ChatGLM6b default model configurations as an example, the memory copies between input and output arrays are like below pseudocode:
Therefore, two topics is the most important:
- How we can optimize model inference pipeline to eliminate memory copy between model inputs and outputs
- How we can put optimization efforts on GLMBlock module by reinvent execution graph
Extremely optimization by OpenVINO™ stateful model
Firstly, we need to analyze the structure of GLMBlock layer, and try to encapsulate a class to invoke OpenVINO™ opset with below workflow. Then serialize the graph to IR model(.xml, .bin).

To build an OpenVINO™ stateful model, you can refer to this document to learn.
https://docs.openvino.ai/2022.3/openvino_docs_OV_UG_network_state_intro.html
OpenVINO™ also provide model creation sample to show how to build a model by opset.
https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/blob/master/samples/cpp/model_creation_sample/main.cpp
It is clear to show that the emphasized optimization block is the custom op of Attention for chatGLM. The main idea is to build up a global context to store and update pastKV results internally, and then use intrinsic optimization for Rotary Embedding and Multi-Head Attentions. In this blog, we provide an optimized the attention structure of chatGLM with AMX intrinsic operators.
At the same time, we use int8 to compress the weights of the Fully Connected layer, you are not required to compress the model by Post Training Quantization (PTQ) or process with framework for Quantization Aware Training(QAT).
Create OpenVINO™ stateful model for chatGLM
Please prepare your hardware and software environment like below and follow the steps to optimize the chatGLM:
Hardware requirements
Intel® 4th Xeon platform(codename Sapphire Rapids) and above
Software Validation Environment
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
python 3.10.11 for OpenVINO™ Runtime Python API
GCC 11.3.0 to build OpenVINO™ Runtime
cmake 3.26.4
Building OpenVINO™ Source
- Install system dependency and setup environment
- Create and enable python virtual environment
- Install python dependency
- Build OpenVINO™ with GCC 11.3.0
- Clone OpenVINO™ and update submodule
- Install python dependency for building python wheels
- Create build directory
- Build OpenVINO™ with CMake
- Install built python wheel for OpenVINO™ runtime and openvino-dev tools
- Check system gcc version and conda runtime gcc version. If the system gcc version is higher than conda gcc version like below, you should update conda gcc version for OpenVINO runtime. (Optional)
- convert pytorch model to OpenVINO™ IR
Use OpenVINO Runtime API to build Inference pipeline for chatGLM
We provide a demo by using transformers and OpenVINO™ runtime API to build the inference pipeline. In test_chatglm.py, we create a new class which inherit from transformers.PreTrainedModel. And we update the forward function by build up model inference pipeline with OpenVINO™ runtime Python API. Other member functions are migrated from ChatGLMForConditionalGeneration from modeling_chatglm.py, so that, we can make sure the input preparation work, set_random_seed, tokenizer/detokenizer and left pipelined operation can be totally same as original model source.
To enable the int8 weights compress, you just need a simple environment variable USE_INT8_WEIGHT=1. That is because during the model generation, we use int8 to compress the weights of the Fully Connected layer, and then it can use int8 weights to inference on runtime, you are not required to compress the model by framework or quantization tools.
Please follow below steps to test the chatGLM with OpenVINO™ runtime pipeline:
- Run bf16 model
- Run int8 model
Weights compression reduces memory bandwidth utilization to improve inference speed
We use VTune for performance comparison analysis of model weights bf16 and int8. Comparative analysis of memory bandwidth and CPI rate (Table 1). When model weight is compressed to int8, it can reduce memory bandwidth utilization and CPI rate.



Clockticks per Instructions Retired(CPI) event ratio, also known as Cycles per Instructions, is one of the basic performance metrics for the hardware event-based sampling collection, also known as Performance Monitoring Counter (PMC) analysis in the sampling mode. This ratio is calculated by dividing the number of unhalted processor cycles(Clockticks) by the number of instructions retired. On each processor the exact events used to count clockticks and instructions retired may be different, but VTune Profiler knows the correct ones to use.
A CPI < 1 is typical for instruction bound code, while a CPI > 1 may show up for a stall cycle bound application, also likely memory bound.
Conclusion
Along with the upgrading of OpenVINO™ main branch, the optimization work in this workaround will be generalized and integrated into official release. It will be helpful to scale more LLMs model usage. Please refer OpenVINO™ official release and Optimum-intel OpenVINO™ backend to get official and efficient support for LLMs.
AquilaChat-7B Language Model Enabling with Hugging Face Optimum Intel
Introduction
What is AquilaChat-7B Language Model?

Aquila Language Model is a set of open-source large language models (LLMs) developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). Aquila models support both Chinese and English, commercial license agreements, and compliance with Chinese domestic data regulations.
AquilaChat-7B is a conversational language model that supports Chinese and English dialogue. It is based on the Aquila-7B foundation model and fine-tuned using supervised fine-tuning (SFT). AquilaChat-7B original Pytorch model and configurations are publicly available here.
Hugging Face Optimum Intel

Hugging Face is one of the most popular open-source data science and machine learning platforms. It acts as a hub for AI experts and enthusiasts—like a GitHub for AI. Over 200,000 models are available across Natural language processing, Multimodal models, Computer Vision, and Audio domains.
Hugging Face provides wide support for model optimization and deployment of open-sourced LLMs such as LLaMA, Bloom, GPT-Neox, Dolly 2.0, to name a few. More details please refer to Open LLM Leaderboard.
Optimum-Intel provides a simple interface between the Hugging Face and OpenVINOTM ecosystem to leverage high-performance inference capabilities for Intel architecture. Here is a simple example to show how to run Dolly 2.0 models with OVModelForCausalLM using OpenVINOTM runtime.
Hola! So, for LLMs already supported by Hugging Face transformers and optimum, we can smoothly switch the model inference backend from Pytorch to OpenVINOTM by changing only two lines of code.
However, what if an LLM from an open-source community that not native supported by Hugging Face Transformers library? How can we still leverage the tools of Hugging Face and OpenVINOTM ecosystem for model optimization and deployment?
Indeed, AquilaChat-7B is a custom model for the Hugging Face Transformers. So, we use it as an example to elaborate the custom model enabling methodology step by step.
How to Enable a Custom Model on Hugging Face?
To leverage the Hugging Face ecosystem and optimization for AquilaChat-7B model, we need to convert the original Pytorch model to Hugging Face Format. Before we dive into conversion details, we need to figure out what is AquilaChat-7B’s model structure, tokenizer, and configurations.
According to Aquila’s official model description:
“The Aquila language model inherits the architectural design advantages of GPT-3 and LLaMA, replacing a batch of more efficient underlying operator implementations and redesigning the tokenizer for Chinese-English bilingual support. The Aquila language model is trained from scratch on high-quality Chinese and English corpora. “
Model Structure and Tokenizer
For model structure, Aquila Model adopts the original Meta LLaMA pytorch implementation, which combines RMSNorm (GPT-3) to improve training stability and Rotary Position Embedding (GPT-NeoX)to incorporate explicit relative position dependency in self-attention.
For tokenizer, instead of using byte-pair encoding (BPE) algorithms implemented by Sentence Piece, Aquila re-trained HuggingFace GPT-NeoX tokenizer with extended vocabulary (vocab_size =100008, including 8 special tokens, e.g. bos_token=100006, eos_token=100007, unk=0, pad=0 used for inference based on here.
Rotary Position Embedding
Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) encodes the absolute position with a rotation matrix and meanwhile incorporates the explicit relative position dependency in the self-attention formulation. Compare to other position embedding methods, RoPE provides valuable properties such as flexibility of sequence length, long-term decay, and linear self-attention with relative position embedding. Based on the original paper, there are two mainstream implementations of RoPE:
As show in Figure 3, Meta LLaMA’s implementation directly use complex number to calculate rotary position embedding.

As show in Figure 4, Google PaLM’s implementation expands the complex number operation and calculate sinusoidal functions in matrix equation of real numbers.

Both RoPE implementations are valid for the Pytorch model. Hugging Face LLaMA implementation adopts PaLM’s RoPE implementation due to the limitation of complex type support for ONNX export.
Besides, Hugging Face provides a useful script convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py to convert the original Meta LLaMA Pytorch Model to Hugging Face Format as follows:
- Extract Pytorch weights and convert Meta LlaMA RoPE implementation to Hugging Face RoPE implementation.
- Convert tokenizer.model trained with Sentence Piece to Hugging Face LLaMA tokenizer.
Convert AquilaChat-7B Model to Hugging Face Format
Similarly, we provide a convert_aquila_weights_to_hf.py to convert AquilaChat-7B Model to Hugging Face Format.
- Extract Pytorch weights and convert Aquila RoPE implementation to Hugging Face RoPE implementation
- Initialize and save a Hugging Face GPT-NeoX Tokenizer with extended vocabulary based on original tokenizer configurations provided by Aquila.
- Add a modeling_aquila.py to enable support forAutoModelForCausalLM and AutoTokenizer
Here is the converted Hugging Face version of AquilaChat-7B v0.6 model uploaded in Hugging Face.
You may convert pytorch weights to Hugging Face format in two steps:
- Download AquilaChat-7B Pytorch Model and configurations here
- Convert AquilaChat-7B Pytorch Model and configurations to Hugging Face Format
Hugging Face AquilaChat-7B Demo
Setup Environment
Run inference with AutoModelForCausalLM
Run inference with OVModelForCausalLM
Conclusion
In this blog, we show how to convert a custom Large Language Model (LLM) to Hugging Face format to leverage efficient optimization and deployment with Hugging Face and OpenVINOTM Ecosystem.
Please note, this is the initial model enabling step for AquilaChat-7B model with OpenVINOTM. We will continue to optimize performance along with upgrading OpenVINOTM for LLM scaling. Please refer to OpenVINOTM and Optimum-Intel official release to get latest efficient support for LLMs with OpenVINOTM backend.
