Insights on OS X platform support for Tensorflow/GPU?

1 pointsby amorroxicover 5 years ago
Hi everyone, have a question in case anyone happens to have a bit of insight in regards to forecasted OSX platform support for Tensorflow.<p>There&#x27;s a good bit of info around Tensorflow&#x2F;Pytorch, not looking for a merits debate (both fantastic imo). I&#x27;m with a small AI company supporting both backends in production (linux, bl -&gt; go api interfacing with generic &quot;model&quot; contracts -&gt; calls to libtensorflow.so &#x2F; libtorch.so via cgo and prototyping in Keras&#x2F;Pytorch). Small inconvenient though is that it&#x27;s close to impossible to employ our rag-tag Darwin&#x2F;GPU&#x2F;multi-boot local machines to train often as we&#x27;re stuck with earlier Tensorflow versions and it&#x27;s quite hard to compile library support locally (Apple doesn&#x27;t make it easy either) thus often have to rewrite really nice Keras code in Pytorch. Bit of a pity as we have no qualms with Keras, some of our most trusted&#x2F;understood networks run on it (TF) live.<p>Anyone happens to know, is there a chance for first-hand support of Tensorflow for OSX in the foreseable future? It has a nice dev ecosystem in general I subjectively believe, for some os us it&#x27;s a bit like Excel of the finance world :) Totally realize opinions are cheap to offer though, deep gratitude to all people involved in these projects &#x2F; open source in general, thank you kindly - truly a question, more than glad to accept my ignorance should this sound any other way.
