The dude that justified kicking out 3rd party GPUs gets a promotion, thanks unregulated capitalism.

I was gonna say. Complaining about Apple not working well (or at all) with 3rd party hardware and software has always been an exercise in futility. Like since the late 1980's, always.

Long ago they positioned themselves as a premium brand with an image to maintain. Can't let the plebs skate by with cheap add-ons.

You see, people keep complaining about Apple software, and defend their lock-in and lock-out practices at the same time. I just can't help but point out the options. Less futile than pointlessly complaining.

As the thread mentions, this is tinygrad only, no opencl as used to be possible. The equivalent would be vulkan or sycl today. It's also higher latency and less performance.
