Very cool. I’m not an ML guy, so apologies if this is a dumb question: how good is performance compared to other hardware here?

- rubatuga 5y agoNot a lot of benchmarks, but I heard large models struggle on M1.
- judge2020 5y agoHave a reference perhaps? I imagine it would be severely limited by memory size & speed for large datasets, but there might be other factors as well.
- teruakohatu 5y agoIt is much, much slower than a dedicated GPU or TPU, so it is useful for "edge" inference eg. local speech or image recognition, but not for training new models. It is using shared memory with the CPU so I don't know how much memory you could eat up while training. In short, you will probably get much better performance using Google Colab to train a deep learning model, than the M1.
