The Metal Performance Shaders operations encoded on it may not have completed.
Tensorflow metal was working on my Power Mac Mac M3 until yesterday. Then my code started freezing. I ran the test script from https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ and it now crashes - this used to work fine, but all of a sudden it does not. The results are shown below. Has anyone seen anything like this? Could this be a hardware problem? MacBook-Pro-3: carl$ python mac_tensorflow_test.py Epoch 1/5 1/782 [..............................] - ETA: 51:53 - loss: 6.0044 - accuracy: 0.0312Error: command buffer exited with error status.

Unable to scan barcode from an Image using vision
Hello, I have been working to try to create a scanner to scan a PDF417 barcode from your photos library for a few days now and have come to a dead end. Every time that I run my function on the photo, my array of observations always returns as []. This example is me trying to use it with an automatic generated image because I think that if it works with this, it will work with a real screenshot. That being said, I have already tried with all sorts of images that aren't pre-generated, and they, still, have failed to work. Code below: Calling the function createVisionRequest(image: generatePDF417Barcode(from: "71238-12481248-128035-40239431")!) Creating the Barcode: static func generatePDF417Barcode(from key: String) -> UIImage? { let data = key.data(using: .utf8)! let filter = CIFilter.pdf417BarcodeGenerator() filter.message = data filter.rows = 7 let transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 3, y: 4) if let outputImage = filter.outputImage?.transformed(by: transform) { let context = CIContext() if let cgImage = context.createCGImage(outputImage, from: outputImage.extent) { return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage) } } return nil } Main function for scanning the barcode: static func desynthesizeIDScreenShot(from image: UIImage, completion: @escaping (String?) -> Void) { guard let ciImage = CIImage(image: image) else { print("Empty image") return } let imageRequestHandler = VNImageRequestHandler(ciImage: ciImage, orientation: .up) let request = VNDetectBarcodesRequest { (request,error) in guard error == nil else { completion(nil) return } guard let observations = request.results as? [VNDetectedObjectObservation] else { completion(nil) return } request.revision = VNDetectBarcodesRequestRevision2 let result = (observations.first as? VNBarcodeObservation)?.payloadStringValue print("Observations", observations) if let result { completion(result) print() print(result) } else { print(error?.localizedDescription) //returns nil completion(nil) print() print(result) print() } } request.symbologies = [VNBarcodeSymbology.pdf417] try? imageRequestHandler.perform([request]) } Thanks!

CreateML crashes with Unexpected Error on Feature Extraction
Note: I posted this to the feedback assistant but haven't gotten a response for 3months =( FB13482199 I am trying to train a large image classifier. I have a training run for ~300000 images. Each image has a folder and the file names within the folders are somewhat random. 381 classes. I am on an M2 Pro, Sonoma 14.0 running CreateML Version 5.0 (121.1). I would prefer not to pursue the pytorch/HF -> coremltools route. CreateML seems to consistently crash ~25000-30000 images in during the feature extraction phase with "Unexpected Error". It does not seem to be due to an out of memory issue. I am looking for some guidance since it seems impossible to debug why this is consistently crashing. My initial assumption was that it could be due to blank/corrupt files. I do not think that is the case. I also checked if there were any special characters in the data/folders. I wasn't able to go through all, but did try some programatic regex. Don't think this is the case either. I attached the sysdiagnose results in feedback assistant after the crash happened. I did notice when going into /var/logs there was some write issue saying that Mac had written too much to disk. Note: I also tried Xcode 15.2-beta this time and the associated CoreML version. My questions: How can I fix this? How should I go about debugging CreateML errors in the future? 'Unexpected Error' - where can I go about getting the exact createml logs on my device? This is far too broad of an error statement Please let me know. As a note, I did successfully train a past model on ~100000 images. I am planning to 10-15x that if this run is successful. Please help, spent a lot of time gathering the extra data and to date have been an occasional power user of createml. Haven't heard back from Apple since December =/. I assume I'm not the only one with this problem, so looking for any instructions to hands on debug and help others. Thx!

jax-metal segfaults when running Gemma inference
I tried running inference with the 2B model from https://github.com/google-deepmind/gemma on my M2 MacBook Pro, but it segfaults during sampling: https://pastebin.com/KECyz60T Note: out of the box it will try to load bfloat16 weights, which will fail. To avoid this, I patched line 30 in gemma/params.py to explicitly cast to float32: param_state = jax.tree_util.tree_map(lambda p: jnp.array(p, jnp.float32), params)

NLEmbedding.wordEmbedding unsupported locale ko.
NLEmembedding.wordEmbedding is not available in your language. This is a very serious issue for any service that caters to Koreans, please fix it quickly. We have added the sample code below. import UIKit import CoreML import NaturalLanguage class MLTextViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() execute() } func execute() { if let embedding = NLEmbedding.wordEmbedding(for: .korean) { let word = "bicycle" if let vector = embedding.vector(for: word) { print(vector) } let specificDistance = embedding.distance(between: word, and: "motorcycle") print("✅ \(specificDistance.description)") embedding.enumerateNeighbors(for: word, maximumCount: 5) { neighbor, distance in print("\(neighbor): \(distance.description)") return true } } } }

VNRecognizeTextRequest on Chinese text does not recognize vertical text or allow individual character recognition
I am using VNRecognizeTextRequest to read Chinese characters. It works fine with text written horizontally, but if even two characters are written vertically, then nothing is recognized. Does anyone know how to get the vision framework to either handle vertical text or recognize characters individually when working with Chinese? I am setting VNRequestTextRecognitionLevel to accurate, since setting it to fast does not recognize any Chinese characters at all. I would love to be able to use fast recognition and handle the characters individually, but it just doesn't seem to work with Chinese. And, when using accurate, if I take a picture of any amount of text, but it's arranged vertically, then nothing is recognized. I can take a picture of 1 character and it works, but if I add just 1 more character below it, then nothing is recognized. It's bizarre. I've tried setting usesLanguageCorrection = false and tried using VNRecognizeTextRequestRevision3, ...Revision2 and ...Revision1. Strangely enough, revision 2 seems to recognize some text if it's vertical, but the bounding boxes are off. Or, sometimes the recognized text will be wrong. I tried playing with DataScannerViewController and it's able to recognize characters in vertical text, but I can't figure out how to replicate it with VNRecognizeTextRequest. The problem with using DataScannerViewController is that it treats the whole text block as one item, and it uses the live camera buffer. As soon as I capture a photo, I still have to use VNRecognizeTextRequest. Below is a code snippet of how I'm using VNRecognizeTextRequest. There's not really much to it and there aren't many other parameters I can try out (plus I've already played around with them). I've also attached a sample image with text laid out vertically. func detectText( in sourceImage: CGImage, oriented orientation: CGImagePropertyOrientation ) async throws -> [VNRecognizedTextObservation] { return try await withCheckedThrowingContinuation { continuation in let request = VNRecognizeTextRequest { request, error in // ... continuation.resume(returning: observations) } request.recognitionLevel = .accurate request.recognitionLanguages = ["zh-Hant", "zh-Hans"] // doesn't seem have any impact // request.usesLanguageCorrection = false do { let requestHandler = VNImageRequestHandler( cgImage: sourceImage, orientation: orientation ) try requestHandler.perform([request]) } catch { continuation.resume(throwing: error) } } }

Intermittent Audio Recording Failure and UI Freezing Issue in iOS App.
The application is developed in SwiftUI. Our application is responsible for audio recording, transcribing the audio file and uploading it to the backend. So, the 2 main components on the iOS application are : AVAudioRecorder, SFSpeechRecognizer. The UI compromises a visual design which showcases the recording of audio, and lets the user know if the audio is being recorded on not using a Text component. Lately the customer has been complaining that though the application says “Recording ” on the UI, their audios are not being are not being received at the backend. The customers try restarting there device(iPad) and the application started working normally We haven’t been able to reproduce the issue. But we suspect an intermittent failure in audio transmission or a potential UI freezing. Note : I have tried using Leaks instrument and had not encountered any memory leaks while using the application. Is there a way to determine whether the issue lies with the audio recorder, the speech recognizer, or elsewhere in the app? Are there any known issues or limitations with audio recorder lately on iOS that could be causing this behaviour? Please let me know if you have any suggestions to diagnose this issue. Also, do let me know if more information is required Thank you in advance

CoreML model using excessive ram during prediction
I have an mlprogram of size 127.2MB it was created using tensorflow and then converted to CoreML. When I request a prediction the amount of memory shoots up to 2-2.5GB every time. I've tried using the optimization techniques in coremltools but nothing seems to work it still shoots up to the same 2-2.5GB of ram every time. I've attached a graph to see it doesn't seem to be a leak as the memory is then going back down.

NLModel won't initialize in MessageFilterExtension
i'm trying to create an NLModel within a MessageFilterExtension handler. The code works fine in the main app, but when I try to use it in the extension it fails to initialize. Just this doesn't even work and gets the error below. Single line that fails. SMS_Classifier is the class xcode generated for my model. This line works fine in the main app. let mlModel = try SMS_Classifier(configuration: MLModelConfiguration()).model Error Unable to locate Asset for contextual word embedding model for local en. MLModelAsset: load failed with error Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=0 "initialization of text classifier model with model data failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=initialization of text classifier model with model data failed} Any ideas?

AI text format style in Pages and Numbers
Hi can you add new feature in Pages and Numbers using Ai to apply style from PDF or template to documents, so ai arrange footers and headers and fonts , pages breaks , pages numbers, like one in PDF or templates , so we can auto format documents to desired look standard, also for Numbers. So we can on raw text upload pdf of another documents or report and get documents in that style for export to pdf or print Best regards,

Tensorflow-Metal TFLite Inference orders of magnitude slower than regular Tensorflow
Hardware: 16" 2023 MBP M3 Pro OS: 14.4.1 Memory: 36 GB python version: 3.8.16 TF-Metal version: tensorflow-metal 1.0.1 installed via pip TF version: 2.13.0 Tensorflow-Metal starts pretty slow, approximately 10s/iteration and over the course of 36 iteration progressively slows down to over 120s/iteration. Info log prints out that TFLite is using XNNPack. Can't share the TFLite model but it is relatively shallow, small, and simple. Uninstalled TF-Metal, and installed tensorflow. Inference speed picks right up and is rock solid at 0.78s/iteration. What is going on??? **TLDR, TFLite inference speed: TF Metal = 120s/iteration TF = 0.78s/iteration**

Request for Code Material from "Improve Core ML Integration with Async Prediction" Session
I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the opportunity to watch the insightful session titled "Improve Core ML Integration with Async Prediction" and was thoroughly impressed by the depth of information and the practical demonstration provided. The session offered valuable insights that I believe would greatly benefit my ongoing projects and my understanding of Core ML integration. As I am keen on implementing the demonstrated workflows and techniques within my own work, I am reaching out to kindly request access to the source code and any related material presented during the session. Having access to the code would enable me to better understand the concepts discussed and apply them more effectively in real-world scenarios. I believe that being able to review and experiment with the actual code would significantly enhance my learning experience and the implementation efficiency of my projects. It would also serve as a valuable resource for referencing best practices in Core ML integration and async prediction techniques. Thank you very much for considering my request. I greatly appreciate the effort that went into creating such an informative session and am looking forward to potentially exploring the material in greater depth. Best regards, Fabio G.

What is the maximum data processing speed?
For example: we use DocKit for birdwatching, so we have an unknown field distance and direction. Distance = ? Direction = ? For example, the rock from which the observation is made. The task is to recognize the number of birds caught in the frame, add a detection frame and collect statistics. Question: What is the maximum number of frames processed with custom object recognition? If not enough, can I do the calculations myself and transfer to DokKit for fast movement?
