Hi @thissidekartikey, This support has been added as part of the Metal plugin support added for Tensorflow to provide GPU acceleration on Mac platforms. You can install Tensorflow and scikit-learn on Mac following the instructions provided in the link:

arm64 : Apple Silicon

Download and install Conda env:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh
sh ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh
source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate

Install the Tensorflow dependencies:

conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps

Install tensorflow:

python -m pip install tensorflow-macos

Install scikit:

conda install scikit-learn
