It is a bit sad if this is just a closed software issue that cannot be fixed :(
- capableweb 4y agoIs it really that sad? Closed software/hardware won't get support (official nor community) for things until the maintainer of the software adds it, and people who buy that kind of hardware is more than aware of this pitfall (and in fact, see it as a benefit sometimes too).
- lynndotpy 4y agoI'm a new MacOS user and, while I did anticipate some of these issues, I do often find myself surprised when running into them. This was one such surprise I hit recently
- ribit 4y agoMixed precision won't do anything on Apple Silicon anyway since there is no performance advantage to using FP16 (aside from decreasing register pressure and RAM bandwidth which won't happen here as data is FP32 to start with).
