Accelerator	Installation
Intel Neural Compressor (INC)	`pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[neural-compressor]"`
Intel OpenVINO	`pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[openvino]"`
Intel Extension for PyTorch	`pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[ipex]"`

The --upgrade-strategy eager option is needed to ensure optimum-intel is upgraded to the latest version.
