All this work to get the Mac to be a platform useful for AI is being done despite Apple's efforts. They're famously pissed at Nvidia since the Nvidia + Intel Macs due to heat and other issues. But then the OS is a bit closed off and they move slow and are more focused on milking iOS and the App Store and services for money BUT the PA-Semi purchase and Apple Silicon and everything following it has made the hardware just so amazing and useful that despite all that people build for it.
I love the platform. I'm happy to see people building on it.
AND! if we ever get an M7 chip with the rumored 1.5TB of available ram all this work will not have been in vain. You think the ai acceleration is nice in the M5 wait till M7 and M8.
