Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉Yesterday they reverse engineered Apple’s neural engine: https://github.com/maderix/ANE
And today people are running the amazing Qwen3.5 accelerated on an m1, this is insane:
tylercheung@Migueldeicaza I think Apple's AI strategy should really be: don't make their own model but make a software strategy that can beat cuda and leverage apple silicon memory model to beat NVidia (i.e. have OpenAI lining up to buy mac minis)
Arcticulate@tylercheung @Migueldeicaza No, I’m an M1 Mac Mini owner (and 2012 i7 Mac Mini before that). What if they always end up being sold out at times when consumers are interested to buy one? 😅.
@Arcticulate @Migueldeicaza that's true but I have more faith in Tim Cook making chips than Jensen making chips, judging how atrocious the GeForce4000 and 5000 series roll outs have been…
@tylercheung @Migueldeicaza I don’t use gaming PCs and feel kinda lost in the gaming GPU world of things. I only know about the budget vs mid-range vs premium setup, from my ownership of GeForce 2 GTS way back in the yesteryears of using a PC with Linux for many years.
The only non-retro PC I have at home these days is my WFH laptop, aka my employer’s HP Elitebook with Windows 11 Pro. That one is ”beefy for M365”, but not much else.
@tylercheung @Migueldeicaza However, I am impressed with Tim Cook’s logistics guru skills.
