Intel Appears To Have Quietly Sunset "On Demand" Software Defined Silicon

Back in 2021 on Phoronix was first to report on Intel preparing Linux patches for a "Software Defined Silicon" feature for activating extra licensed hardware features. That Software Defined Silicon support continued moving forward and was then announced as Intel On Demand with a focus on users being able to pay to activate additional accelerators found on select SKUs but not enabled by default.

This pay-to-use model for accelerator IPs already found in the Xeon processors was widely panned. The Intel On Demand allowed for paying to use it on a consumption model or a one-time feature activation.
We haven't heard much from Intel around On Demand in the past year or two but it looks like now they are sunsetting the controversial feature.
