-In case you want to use Intel GPU device to run the generation, add extra docker parameters `--device /dev/dri --group-add=$(stat -c "%g" /dev/dri/render* | head -n 1)` to `docker run` command, use the docker image with GPU support. Export the models with precision matching the GPU capacity and adjust pipeline configuration.
