Does NeuroPilot 8 (NP8) support NPU inference on the Dimensity 8300 (MT6897)?

I’m looking to run Qwen3 or newer generation models on the Dimensity 8300 SoC. From what I’ve found, it seems only NeuroPilot 7 (NP7) is officially supported on this chip. Does NeuroPilot 8 (NP8) also support the Dimensity 8300’s NPU? If so, can models built with the NP8 toolkit run on this SoC as well?

Hi R_D,

Thanks for reaching out!

NeuroPilot and the hardware platform are tightly coupled. For Dimensity 8300, you’ll want to use NeuroPilot 7. For the full version mapping, this page should help: AI Frameworks and NeuroPilot Dependency

For the Qwen3 series model toolkit, you can grab it from the NeuroPilot 9 page for now: GAI Deployment Toolkit

Best,
