Hi Everyone, I'm currently facing an issue where TensorFlow is unable to detect the GPU on my M1 Mac for model training. When I run the following code to check for available GPUs: import tensorflow as tf print("Num GPUs Available: ", len(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))) Num GPUs Available: 0 I have already applied the steps mentioned in the developer apple document. https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ System Information: Device: M1 Mac Pro Max Python Version: 3.12.2 TensorFlow Version: 2.17.0 OS: macOS Sequoia (15.1) Questions: Is there any additional configuration required to enable GPU support on M1 Macs? Are there specific TensorFlow versions that I should be using for better compatibility? Has anyone else faced this issue, and how did you resolve it?

Hi, The most recent version of tensorflow-metal is only available for macosx 12.0 and python up to version 3.11. Is there any chance it could be updated with wheels for macos 15 and Python 3.12 (which is the default version supported for tensrofllow 2.17+)? I'd note that even downgrading to Python 3.11 would not be sufficient, as the wheels only work for macos 12. Thanks.

Hi all, When executing an HLO program using the JAX metal PJRT plugin, the program fails due to an unsupported data type returned by the rng_bit_generator operation. The generated HLO includes: %output_state, %output = "mhlo.rng_bit_generator"(%1) <{rng_algorithm = #mhlo.rng_algorithm<PHILOX>}> : (tensor<3xi64>) -> (tensor<3xi64>, tensor<3xui32>) The error message indicates that: Metal only supports MPSDataTypeFloat16, MPSDataTypeBFloat16, MPSDataTypeFloat32, MPSDataTypeInt32, and MPSDataTypeInt64. The use of ui32 seems to be incompatible with Metal’s allowed types. I’m trying to understand if the ui32 output is the problem or maybe the use of rng_bit_generator is wrong. Could you clarify if there is a workaround or planned support for ui32 output in this context? Alternatively, guidance on configuring rng_bit_generator for compatibility with Metal’s supported types would be greatly appreciated.

Where can I find an example of using this MPSGraph function? I'm trying to use it to paste an image into a larger canvas at certain coordinates. func sliceUpdateDataTensor( _ dataTensor: MPSGraphTensor, update updateTensor: MPSGraphTensor, starts: [NSNumber], ends: [NSNumber], strides: [NSNumber], startMask: UInt32, endMask: UInt32, squeezeMask: UInt32, name: String? ) -> MPSGraphTensor

The Translation API introduced at Session 10117 is impressive, but limiting it to SwiftUI is restrictive. This API works great in the demo, but for more complex apps, it lacks flexibility because it is bound to SwiftUI Views. Please consider making it available in non-SwiftUI environments.

Hello, I’m attempting to convert a TensorFlow model to CoreML using the coremltools package, but I’m encountering an error during the conversion process. The error traceback points to an issue within the Cast operation in the MIL (Model Intermediate Layer) when it tries to perform type inference: AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'astype' Here is the relevant part of the error traceback: File ~/.pyenv/versions/3.10.12/lib/python3.10/site-packages/coremltools/converters/mil/mil/ops/defs/iOS15/elementwise_unary.py", line 896, in get_cast_value return input_var.val.astype(dtype=type_map[dtype_val]) I’ve tried converting a model from the yamnet-tensorflow2 repository, and this error occurs when CoreML tries to cast a float type during the conversion of certain operations. I’m currently using Python 3.10 and coremltools version 6.0.1, with TensorFlow 2.x. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can offer suggestions on how to resolve this? I’ve also considered that this might be related to mismatches in the model’s data types, but I’m not sure how to proceed. Platform and package versions: coremltools 6.1 tensorflow 2.10.0 tensorflow-estimator 2.10.0 tensorflow-hub 0.16.1 tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem 0.37.1 Python 3.10.12 pip 24.3.1 from ~/.pyenv/versions/3.10.12/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10) Darwin MacBook-Pro.local 24.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.1.0: Thu Oct 10 21:02:27 PDT 2024; root:xnu-11215.41.3~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I am working on the neural network classifier provided on the coremltools.readme.io in the updatable->neural network section(https://coremltools.readme.io/docs/updatable-neural-network-classifier-on-mnist-dataset). I am using the same code but I get an error saying that the coremltools.converters.keras.convert does not exist. But this I know can be coreml version issue. Right know I am using coremltools version 6.2. I converted this model to mlmodel with .convert only. It got converted successfully. But I face an error in the make_updatable function saying the loss layer must be softmax output. Even the coremlt package API reference there I found its because the layer name is softmaxND but it should be softmax. Now the problem is when I convert the model from Keras sequential model to coreml model. the layer name and type change. And the softmax changes to softmaxND. Does anyone faced this issue? if I execute this builder.inspect_layers(last=4) I get this output [Id: 32], Name: sequential/dense_1/Softmax (Type: softmaxND) Updatable: False Input blobs: ['sequential/dense_1/MatMul'] Output blobs: ['Identity'] [Id: 31], Name: sequential/dense_1/MatMul (Type: batchedMatmul) Updatable: False Input blobs: ['sequential/dense/Relu'] Output blobs: ['sequential/dense_1/MatMul'] [Id: 30], Name: sequential/dense/Relu (Type: activation) Updatable: False Input blobs: ['sequential/dense/MatMul'] Output blobs: ['sequential/dense/Relu'] In the make_updatable function when I execute builder.set_categorical_cross_entropy_loss(name='lossLayer', input='Identity') I get this error ValueError: Categorical Cross Entropy loss layer input (Identity) must be a softmax layer output.

What are the major differences in review process for AI based apps vis a vis normal apps for Apple store?

Can access to SoundAnalysis (sound classifier built into next version of MacOS, iOS, WatchOS) be provided to my app running in the background on iPhone or Apple Watch? I want to monitor local sounds from Apple Watch and iPhones and take remote action for out of band data (ie. send alert to caregiver if coughing rate is too high, or if someone is knocking on the door for more than a minute, etc.)

Is it just me or is early access image playground not available, been waiting for a little over 24hrs and still no access. (no rush for the team if there’s smth wrong) they might be busy rolling out the first few apple intelligence features (ios 18.1) public release.

what am I not understanding here. in short the view loads text from the jsons descriptions and then should filter out the words. and return and display a list of most used words, debugging shows words being identified by the code but does not filter them out private func loadWordCounts() { DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async { let fileManager = FileManager.default guard let documentsDirectory = try? fileManager.url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false) else { return } let descriptions = loadDescriptions(fileManager: fileManager, documentsDirectory: documentsDirectory) var counts = countWords(in: descriptions) let tagsToRemove: Set<NLTag> = [ .verb, .pronoun, .determiner, .particle, .preposition, .conjunction, .interjection, .classifier ] for (word, _) in counts { let tagger = NLTagger(tagSchemes: [.lexicalClass]) tagger.string = word let (tag, _) = tagger.tag(at: word.startIndex, unit: .word, scheme: .lexicalClass) if let unwrappedTag = tag, tagsToRemove.contains(unwrappedTag) { counts[word] = 0 } } DispatchQueue.main.async { self.wordCounts = counts } } }

I'm using the iOS 18.2 beta on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, but can't find Apple Intelligence, and the Settings app still shows the Old Siri logo.

Almost all the functions in Accelerate are for single precision (Float) and double precision (Double) operations. However, I stumbled upon three integer arithmetic functions which operate on Int32 values. Are there any more functions in Accelerate that operate on integer values? If not, then why aren't there more functions that work with integers?

hi, I am currently running LSTM on TensorFlow. However, when i switched from keras2 to keras3. code running time has increased 10 times -- it seems there is no GPU acceleration. Here is my code: batch size = 256 optimiser = adam activation = tanh _______________________________________________ Layer (type) Output Shape Param # ============================================= input_1 (InputLayer) [(None, 7, 16)] 0 bidirectional (Bidirection (None, 7, 320) 226560 al) bidirectional_1 (Bidirecti (None, 7, 512) 1181696 onal) bidirectional_2 (Bidirecti (None, 256) 656384 onal) dense (Dense) (None, 1) 257 ============================================== Total params: 2064897 (7.88 MB) Trainable params: 2064897 (7.88 MB) Non-trainable params: 0 (0.00 Byte) ______________________________________________ This is keras 3.6.0 + tensorflow 2.17.0 + tensorflow-metal 1.1.0 training status: Training------------ Epoch 1/200 28/681 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 8:13 756ms/step - loss: 0.5901 - mape: 338.6876 - mse: 0.8591 This is keras 2.14.0 + tensorflow 2.14.0 + tensorflow-metal 1.1.0 training status: Training------------ Epoch 1/200 681/681 [==============================] - 37s 49ms/step - loss: 3.6345 - mape: 499038.7500 - mse: 34.4148 - val_loss: 3.5452 - val_mape: 41.7964 - val_mse: 32.0133 - lr: 0.0010 Is that because keras3 has no GPU support on macos? Apart from that, if I change LSTM activation from tanh to sigmoid in keras2, it does not have GPU support as well. My system is 15.0.1 and the code was running on python3.11 I am not sure why these happen. Thanks

Hello. I can't find anything about the SSML that is used in Apple's speech synthesis. SSML from Google, Amazon and W3C either don't work or work incorrectly. Where is Apple's documentation for their implementation of SSML?

Hi All, Is it possible to record a video using the Object Capture instead of taking a series of pictures ? Is it possible to get the bounding box coordinates of the object we capture ?

I am using Apple’s Vision framework with DetectHorizonRequest to detect the horizon in an image. Here is my code: func processHorizonImage(_ ciImage: CIImage) async { let request = DetectHorizonRequest() do { let result = try await request.perform(on: ciImage) print(result) } catch { print(error) } } After calling the perform method, I am getting result as nil. To ensure the request's correctness, I have verified the following: The input CIImage is valid and contains a visible horizon. No errors are being thrown. The relevant frameworks are properly imported. Given that my image contains a clear horizon, why am I still not getting any results? I would appreciate any help or suggestions to resolve this issue. Thank you for your support! This is the image

Hey everyone, I've been updating my code to take advantage of the new Vision API for text recognition in macOS 15. I'm noticing some very odd behavior though, it seems like in general the new Vision API consistently produces worse results than the old API. For reference here is how I'm setting up my request. var request = RecognizeTextRequest() request.recognitionLevel = getOCRMode() // generally accurate request.usesLanguageCorrection = !disableLanguageCorrection // generally true request.recognitionLanguages = language.split(separator: ",").map { Locale.Language(identifier: String($0)) } // generally 'en' let observations = try? await request.perform(on: image) as [RecognizedTextObservation] Then I will process the results and just get the top candidate, which as mentioned above, typically is of worse quality then the same request formed with the old API. Am I doing something wrong here?
