+To use GCC instead, use the `power9le-linux-gnu-vsx.toolchain.cmake` toolchain file instead. Note that according to benchmarks, Clang appears to produce noticeably faster CPU inference than GCC for POWER9 targets. For fastest inference, use Clang 18 or higher; earlier versions of Clang may have impaired inference speed due to [Bug 49864](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/49864) and [Bug 64664](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64664).
 
 For POWER8 instead of POWER9, use the `power8le-linux-gnu-vsx.clang.toolchain.cmake` or `power8le-linux-gnu-vsx.toolchain.cmake` toolchain file instead. POWER8 will be slower than POWER9.
