Support for Intel based Macs

Open namp opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Any chance to also support Intel based Macs at some point?

I understand that Linux support is cuda based but those were pretty capable computational machines that now just gather dust

@namp We will make this work with tinygrad hopefully. I think they support this, perhaps with OpenCL

@AlexCheema, is it the #27 one? Like, detect the system architecture and select the model default based on it?

@itsknk Yes it's the same thing.

@AlexCheema Does adding a helper function to detect the kind of Mac and a conditional block that replaces the previous check and detects the system type (macOS, Linux, or other) and the Mac architecture (Apple Silicon or Intel) if applicable, do the job? This is how I ran in my intel macbook pro!

Hello, @namp a have a plenty Intel based Macs gathering dust as well, any luck to make them run?
