# Building real-world on-device AI with LiteRT and NPU

LiteRT is a production-ready framework designed to help mobile developers unlock the power of Neural Processing Units (NPUs), overcoming the performance and battery limitations of traditional CPU or GPU processing. By providing a unified API that abstracts away hardware complexities, it allows industry leaders like Google Meet and Epic Games to deploy sophisticated AI models for real-time video, animation, and speech recognition with significantly higher efficiency. The platform further supports developers through benchmarking tools and cross-platform compatibility, enabling seamless AI deployment across mobile devices, AI PCs, and industrial IoT hardware.
