people do run Macs in datacenters, so if you wanted to have it run in a dc I’m sure you could. Secondly all pro level Macs have discrete graphics, so I’m not sure what you mean by “proper discrete gpu”

Not sure what you mean by "all pro level macs". But the macbook pro M1 has no discrete GPU. It does however have a "neural processor" to accelerate ML.

Ah right I always forget about the 13” Ugly step sister - it was igpu only for the intel models too.

However the other pro lines (MBP15/16 iMac Pro; Mac Pro) are all equipped with dGPUs

Discrete nvidia GPU with CUDA. While there is Tensorflow compiled for radeon GPUs, majority of libraries are based on CUDA

Tensorflow was recently released for Metal

Has there been any major updates to using TF for AMD GPUs recently? Or is it still too much of a headache to do it?

... The models created by this are designed to be used in apps for on-device ML, on Macs, iPhones, iPads, etc.
