TensorFlow MacOS
TensorFlow for macOS 11.0+ accelerated using Apple's ML Compute
...As TensorFlow added a Metal PluggableDevice path, the project directed users toward using Apple’s tensorflow-metal to get GPU acceleration on Mac directly through Metal. The README and releases emphasized this was a macOS-optimized distribution, not an upstream fork of TensorFlow, and it cataloged common installation notes and issues encountered by early Apple Silicon users. In practice, the repo served as a bridge during the transition to native Mac acceleration, making modern TensorFlow viable on Apple hardware while upstream support matured.
