Typically, the token generation phase is memory-bound for LLM inference in general, and this becomes especially clear as context length increases (since the model's parameters are a fixed quantity.) If it was pure compute bound there would be huge gains to be had by shifting some of the load to the NPU (ANE) but AIUI it's just not so.
