Anyone know if this shows up as an actual GPU device? The last tensorflow-macOS thing did not. If you list devices using that, you’ll see only one: CPU:0.

Does this give a GPU:0 device? You can check via:

  import tensorflow as tf2
  from pprint import pprint as pp
  tf = tf2.compat.v1
  sess = tf.InteractiveSession()
  pp(sess.list_devices())
I’d check myself, but I’ve been so burnt by tensorflow 2 and M1 problems that I just don’t have the energy to figure out the inevitable compilation issues, and it sounds like at least one other person already has it running. Plus I’m on mobile.

Ohhhh snapppppp! Excitement level just shot way up. Thank you.

God, it’ll be nice having a gpu for tensorflow. I’ve dreamed about this for like… a long time.


Got it running! I posted detailed instructions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27445555

Ahh, I've never had a local GPU before. Thank you Apple Santa Claus, whoever your team is.


... and it worked on linux and windows for years already.


Maybe someday they'll external GPU support too, unless it's too tall of an order for Apple.
