I had the same experience. My M1 system does well on smaller models compared to a NVidia 1070 with 10GB of memory. My MacBook Pro only has 8GB total memory. Large models run slowly.
I found setting up Apple’s M1 fork of TensorFlow to be fairly easy, BTW.
I am writing a new book on using Swift for AI applications, motivated by the “niceness” of the Swift language and Apple’s CoreML libraries.
- iluxonchik 6y agodo you happen to have a draft version available somewhere? i'm diving into ML with Swift soon
- figomore 6y agoI think this is the book https://leanpub.com/SwiftAI https://leanpub.com/SwiftAI
- mark_l_watson 6y agoThanks for linking that, but there is not much of the book written for now. I have mostly been working on the examples.
- mark_l_watson 6y agoIf you are interested in just the iOS/iPadOS/macOS platforms, then work through the tutorial articles on ML that Apple provides to devs. If you are on Linux, then Swift for TensorFlow is OK. You will save some effort by using Google Colab notebooks, that support Swift and Swift for TensorFlow.
