Demonstrates running inference on CPUs using OpenVINO with Python, exporting models to an optimized format and letting the runtime re-optimize per-processor; uses small fine-tuned models and quantization to trade raw accuracy for speed, reporting a quantized 14B model deployed with comparable task-specific performance to GPU and that 1–1.5B models run on ~8 GB RAM for 1–1.5B models; first-token latency and cost savings drive design decisions.
