As the owner of a mac with an amd gpu, I'm very excited to see support coming soon. Been wanting to get into ml but been pretty discouraged with all of the popular libraries being cuda-only.

Actually, if you're adventurous, you can clone it from github and build on your mac with bazel, but, your experience may suck in terms of performance (that's why it's not officially released yet). But, because you have an AMD, it will probably work well.

You would need to: bazel build -c opt plaidml:wheel plaidml/keras:wheel

and then

sudo pip install bazel-bin/plaidml/whl bazel-bin/plaidml/keras/whl

The Mac build should be coming in the next two weeks. We're just tweaking compiler parameters to make sure Intel GPUs work as well as they should.

Great! I look forward to that announcement.
