Wouldn't you use the Apple Neural Engine for that? https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/11/apple-tensorflow-acceleration/ https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/11/apple-tensorflow-accelera... "Recently Apple released the new M1 "system on a chip," which not only contains a built-in GPU, but also includes a 16-core "Neural Engine" which supports 11 trillion operations per second. Apple claims the Neural Engine will support up to 15x improvement in ML computation."

The neural engine seems to be only about inference. For training it seems most systems rely on Metal like the Apple Tensorflow plugin [1]. But I have never tried to do ML on macs so I am maybe wrong.
