The latest PyTorch is now Apple silicon compatible, I'm assuming it only uses the neural engine. I work with small language models mostly (again, any large language model work will need to be cloud based), but also do some computer vision work (preprocessing with OpenCV, deep learning models from there) For the most part I'll use compute resources in the cloud when working on paid projects, but for personal experiments it's really useful to be able to refine models locally and run inference on small test sets. my current machine is way too slow to run the emulator properly now (this wasn't a problem four/five years ago - but I guess things have moved on quite a bit) Swift development for iPhone (Swift UI, Rive for animations) I'm setting out on my own development wise and need something that will work well for the following projects: I will ask more detailed questions in specialised forums, but thought I'd ask here too. My (ex) employers Macbook pro isn't a huge amount better, again maxed out (2019 i9, 32GB RAM). My venerable 2015 Macbook Pro is getting to be a bit too slow for use it was maxed out when I bought it (2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 16GB ram, AMD Radeon R9 M370X).
