Do we think Apple are going to provide more info and maybe a public API over time?
Or they are keeping it obscure for commercial reasons?
Or just not very competent/don't care?
Seems weird having these amazing chips and only blunt tools
- my123 4y agoCoreML. Directly exposing the ANE wouldn't make much sense, as it's an IP block that changes between generations in incompatible ways.
- brookst 4y agoThis is the answer. CoreML gives you an abstraction over different generations and sizes of underlying NPU. You might not want the abstraction, but love it or hate it, that’s kind of the Apple way. It will be very interesting to see what their next chips look like since we’re getting to the point where HW designs will reflect the rise of the, uh, transformers.
