FastFlowLM brings Linux support to AMD NPUs

This is the kind of infrastructure update that matters more than flashy model launches: it opens a practical Linux path for low-power, on-device inference on AMD laptops and mini PCs.

• –The release is not just a benchmark claim; it ships distro-specific setup steps for Ubuntu and Arch plus a `flm validate` flow to check firmware, driver, and memlock requirements.
• –Lemonade makes the stack more usable for developers by wrapping FLM in an OpenAI-compatible local server instead of forcing everyone into a bare runtime workflow.
• –The catch is hardware and platform scope: this is for XDNA 2 NPUs only, with kernel 7.0+ or backported drivers and updated firmware, so it is not a universal Linux win yet.
• –More importantly, it signals AMD’s local AI stack is maturing beyond Windows demos into something developers can actually build against on Linux.
