Following the instructions at

https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/

I got as far as

python -m pip install tensorflow-macos

and it responded "ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-macos (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-macos"

I'd be grateful for any suggestions

Thanks for your answer, but my Python is 3.8.5. Calling 'python3' causes the same error.

python3 -m pip install tensorflow-macos

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-macos (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-macos

python3 --version

Python 3.8.5

Using Pycharm CE Apple Silicon I just added in the venv with python 3.8 the packages tensorflow-macos 2.9 and tensorflow-metal 0.5.0. This runs perfectly with GPU support on my M1 Pro.

Using the latest versions tensorflow 2.11 and tensorflow-metal 0.7.0 results in error 'NOT_FOUND: could not find registered platform with id: 0x28edf1f90'. Explanation for this see here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721619

Had same problem on MacBook M1 Max. I downgraded to tensorflow-metal 0.6 and tensor flow-macos 2.10 works all well now.

I get the following error after following the instructions from App Metal install website: Could not identify NUMA node of platform GPU ID 0, defaulting to 0. Your kernel may not have been built with NUMA support.
