Isnt mlx a cuda translation later?
- wmf 7mo agoDoes tinygrad support MLX?
- superb_dev 7mo agoMy understanding is that MLX is Apple’s CUDA, so a CUDA translation layer would target MLX
- ykl 7mo agoNo, it’s not. MLX is Apple’s NumPy more or less.
- ykl 7mo agoNo, MLX is nothing like a Cuda translation layer at all. It’d be more accurate to describe MLX as a NumPy translation layer; it lets you write high level code dealing with NumPy style arrays and under the hood will use a Metal GPU or CUDA GPU for execution. It doesn’t translate existing CUDA code to run on non-CUDA devices.
