Yes, a library made to use hardware only works with the hardware it's made to work with.
This comment is like saying Nvidia isn't committed to AI because their CUDA libraries only work on Nvidia hardware.
- bastawhiz 3y agoNvidia is the single biggest hardware supplier for anything related to AI. Apple's name essentially doesn't come up in conversations about AI. If Nvidia wasn't a meaningful player in the AI space and they put out a library for their hardware, I'd also say it didn't feel like a "commitment".
- olliej 3y agoAlmost every apple product produced has included "AI" coprocessors for years at this point, and I would guess they've sold many more of those to many more people than Nvidia has. The limiting factor is the ability of 3rd parties to use that hardware, which is what it seems apple has been trying to do for the last few years.
